LOCATION: San Francisco
Christmas Eve. Got up at 8:30 and got out & on the road by 9:45. We were going to Tahoe, but the car broke down. Tried to fix it but couldn't. I got a ride to the H.P. [Highway Patrol] and got a tow truck called for. Rode back with cop. Still waiting.
The tow truck arrived at 3:00 P.M., manned by a nice young bearded fellow. It's illegal to ride in the car being towed so Mom & Jain rode in the tow truck and we three rode in the back of it. We drove 'bout five miles to a place near Placerville, landing at a gas station. The thing cost $19.50 I think.
He left, and the guy at the gas station took over. Went out to get a piece (the hose for the power steering), came back, installed it, and we paid him and left. It took an hour in all, at least. There was a dog there that kept us company. Got home around 7:00.
Cynthia came over. Jim & Will & I played chess. Roark & Carol arrived and we all sat around & talked & opened presents. Finally they left at 1:00 or 2:00. Will, Me & Jim played poker. And we all got to bed around 5:00 or 6:00.
TOMORROW: Merry Christmas to Vietnam
