Can an Entire Road Be Cursed?

     I've read stories or have heard accounts on Youtube of whole roads and streets that seem to be cursed. Many of therm involve ghosts. This is not one of those stories.
     Rather than merely driving through a full body apparition of some lady in white looking for her dead child or for whatever such spirits search according to local legend, this is about my inability to drive on Villa de Porto Blvd in Hudson, MA. Two years ago this June, I got T-boned there in an accident caused by a woman driving on a dark grey rainy night with her headlights off and I got blamed for it (My so-called insurance company found me at fault, now I'm paying over $1000 a year for the next six years for compulsory insurance).
     Today, I left the house at three PM to get a few things. I didn't get home until almost 5:30. My battery kept dying even after I got a jump start by a friendly guy and another from the AAA guy the cops called who wasn't so friendly. So in just two hours, I burned up half my roadside assists that AAA reluctantly gives you for your $85 annual membership.
     But the first guy who came said that my alternator was shot, which is strange considering I was driving the van around town all day yesterday looking for water and toilet paper and I had no problems. Today was a different story.
     So there I was on Villa de Porto Blvd, again, stranded in the middle of a blizzard (Yeah, there was that to contend with, too, and not knowing I'd get stranded and be in the middle of traffic for two hours, I didn't dress for the occasion). I'm on the phone with AAA three or four times trying to get someone to tow me home, even though I lived just 150 yards from where I'd broken down again.
     Now, I'm faced with the prospect of burning my next-to-last roadside assist to have the car towed to the nearest garage so I can replace the alternator. The last time I had a job like this done was on my old Ford Taurus (the one that got T-boned) a decade ago and that job cost me $375. I'm guessing, with the price of labor skyrocketing, that's got to be closer to $500 these days.
     Obviously, I don't have that kind of money lying around unless I spend the rent money that's due in a little over a week. I have a little over $100 in the bank, another hundred in the Paypal account and I'm going to need to get this thing fixed by the end of the month. Thank goodness I had the foresight to do some shopping yesterday while the van was still running and before the blizzard hit, But I don't want to wait until we start running out of essentials before I fix this.
     We need help now. And I can't wait until Congress stops dicking around with this stimulus bill that just failed earlier today for the second time in 24 hours. And even if we get a $1000 check and Trump signs the bill, remember what I'd said in a recent post: During the 2008 crisis, two months had passed between the time Bush signed that stimulus bill into law and when the checks hit the mail. And, again, this stimulus bill is still being gridlocked in the Senate. We're well-provisioned for now but we're going need to get our van running before long.
     I know many of you are quarantined or sheltered-in-place and some of you are taking hits financially. And if you cannot help, that's perfectly fine. No one owes me anything. But if you can spare anything, anything, it would make a world of difference. Because the most frightening place in the world to be right now is stranded at home with no means of driving anywhere during an exponentially expanding pandemic when basic necessities are nonexistent to begin with.
