This recent Saturday was actually fine until after I left the cat shelter. Made one stop at Lowe's to buy some stuff, then as I approached my turn off the highway to my neighborhood, I saw a small advertising sign stuck in the ground, right nest to the highway, in front of a Wawa convenience store. I hate those illegal bandit signs, so I pulled into the store's parking lot, got out and went and pulled the sign out. Walked back to my van, all of maybe 2 minutes time, went to start it up, and nothing happened. Not even a sound when I turned the key. All electrical still worked, but no starter sound, not even the dreaded "click, click, click" of an almost dead battery. So I called AAA for a tow home, and ended up waiting there, 1/4 mile from my house, for 4 hours and still no tow truck! I got several automated calls from AAA saying they were working on my request, and they'd see me soon. I also called them twice and got the same message. Finally one of my brothers walks over from our house at the 4 hour wait mark, and I go to demonstrate how my van won't start, something I tried numerous times over the past 4 hours, and it started right up! So I immediately drove straight home and parked before there were any more problems, called AAA one last time and cancelled my request. But I have no idea why my van did that.
