What a weird morning

I've been monitoring my car brakes all month because I suspected they needed to be done. Wednesday I braked hard at a light and the car pulled to the left. And last night when I went to accelerate when a light turned green the car wouldn't go. I checked and I was in drive. So between possible brake issues or front end issues I brought it in to my mechanic this morning. It turns out that my brakes are fine and the front end. He took it for a test drive and nothing popped out at him. He rotated the tires and in the process discovered a nail in one of them that wasn't causing a slow leak so he pulled it. In the diagnostic testing, though, a code for the coolant came up. It turns out that I need a new radiator. I had no idea. The car hasn't been running hot or showing any symptoms. So I had to leave the car. I did ask him if he thought transmission issues were popping up and he said he honestly didn't think so but he'd check the transmission fluid. 3 times I tried calling my 2 coworkers to see if they'd pick me up and I got voice mail each time. Then I tried my boss who's working at home to update her and I got HER voice mail. So I decided to take a taxi. 2 different companies had nobody available and the third required cash only. At that point I forgot that I'd gone to the ATM on Wednesday so I went back inside to wait and just keep on trying my coworkers. But then I remembered I had cash so I called the cab company again. I've taken many a cab in my day and I've never not been able to get picked up. Weird. Cathy and Shiloh
