So my cell phone rings while I'm at work.  No big deal; I work at the front
desk of a school and we're on spring break.
Mike Smith is stuck in a parking lot with a missing water pump tensioning
bolt. He called Dan Bubb, who was able to swing by and diagnose the exact
needs.  That's the first 'isn't technology wonderful' moment, that we all
have cell phones and know eachother through the .org list.
Once they knew what they needed, they wondered where to get said belt?
 It wasn't their area of the neighborhood, so they called me - I used to
work down there.  (but that's when I drove a toyota  lol) Isn't technology
wonderul # 2 - google local and google maps.  Found a parts store just about
3 blocks away where they were able to buy said bolt.
Last I heard they were about to install...  But things are quiet at work
today!
