Becky ran out of gas about half an hour ago. After riding to the
rescue...

It makes me wonder how anyone could run out of gas.

Most automobiles are powered by internal combustion engines. These
engines typically burn various concoctions of petroleum based liquids
which are stored in an onboard tank. Run them long enough without
adding
fuel and the supply runs out.

fwiw,

Not much.

Yes, I know how a combustion engine works, and there is also an
instruments
called a gas gauge
that most automobiles have today which indicates when you're low on fuel.
I
figure with all the
reading you both do, it might be easy enough to read the gauge...it's not
like it's in braille.

Given who she chooses to associate with it seems common sense is
severely lacking.

It's beautiful moments like these that keep an otherwise jaded boy coming
back to this magical wonderland.

shackles.
