0600. The outside tempertaure is +4, wind west at 14 mph. The lights are on at the Old 56572 Fire Hall, the stalls empty. Not a good sign to find all the trucks on the north side of the Old 56572 High School. No sign of smoke, ice on the sidewalk, was something leaking? (Thanks for the quick comment update dear reader.)
Oh to be an Eastern African refugee living in the center of North America the last week of November. You need to get to work, the temperature is near zero, your car won't start. What to do?
Scenario One: "Need help? Call 911. That's what you heard. You call 911 on your cell, but they don't understand you. You give them the house number of where to find your car with the dead battery in your best English. Soon a police car arrives. You wave your arms in the air, just like when you were bring rescued in Africa. This great place, America.
Scenario Two: Hello 911?. Car not start. I think, need gas. I pour gas. Fire start. Send fire truck. Now. My car burning. Kids house sleeping. You know my house? Thank you. Bye.
AAA are the letters we need to teach, in addition to 911.
