In 00:25
 Finished  TWW 2:17
J called at 02:30  ... Tsu had returned home!

Morning was BUSY and a little screwed up, so I stayed with the morning dispatch to watch and help until 6:35
Car 6:42  headed home

Still on the 710, almost home and
the 'battery' indicator lit up on the dash, followed by the 'radiator' light followed by the temperature shooting to the right, meaning past-hot...   engine still was running; as I exited, I realized that the power steering wasn't working.

Managed to get home, and get it into the driveway.

Talked to J about it.
Decided to use a Ford dealer.  We called the nearest one, who told us we could have the car towed to them without one of us being with the car.
I ate MDM  ... pot roast, made last night.
Called AAA, who arrived 0900 and took the car.

Awake every couple hours to pee.
Ford service agent called  3:30 or so.... with the estimate... ugh, but I said, go ahead
