Hi Deb,

Ugh, that really sounds like a not fun day. I'm sorry you had such a 
rough time. ((hugs)) I tend to be afraid of the dark too - even at 
the ripe old age of 27. ;P Anyway, that sucks about the car. I guess 
it's not in a garage? Is there any way you could throw a tarp or 
cover over it to keep it from freezing shut again? I wish you better 
luck tomorrow morning - being on time to work is NOT worth monoxide 
poisoning! :)

take care,
Ariel
