CARLESS

Shots from Mangrove Hotel in Broome which overlooks Roebuck Bay

The battery died this afternoon. We were tracting a little way from our house. Orson finished a long cul-de-sac and got back into the car. I tried to start the car and it wasn’t happy. We’ve been doing a lot of tracting close by home lately with lots of starts and stops. Also, we have the AC on all the time. I guess the poor battery thought it was being picked on and decided to go on strike. So we called Simon, one of our good aboriginal members. He has an old truck so we figured he might have some jumper cables. He didn’t, but he found someone who did and showed up in about 20 minutes. We went to Broome Toyota where they told us they needed to keep the car overnight to charge it. We cancelled scripture study tonight since we pick up 2 of the 3 folks who generally come.
