When I got to the car (~30 minutes since I left it there), I turned the key and it did try to turn over. That tells me that It's either the battery is going bad or the charging circuit is not doing its job. The fact that it died while it's idling, it's probably the charging circuit. I'm going to call for a jump. If it's the battery, it will start and get me home. If it's the charging circuit, as soon as the jump cable is removed it might die a gain. I'll measure the voltage as soon as it start to see if it's anywhere near 14V(?). Thanks goatman and Art for you propmt reply.
