Kindness from The San Diego Highwayman
Rode in w my bro, in his car, to City Chev this afternoon to pick up my son's diesel 4x for him [ had some work done there *I* didn't want to do ]
Passed by several stranded folks on the I-8 and felt pangs for not being able to help them [ feel downright naked w-o my trusty SAR rig or one of my other specially equipped vehicles ]
One gal was particularly poignant for me as she had a flat and as we passed she was getting out a stroller as if she was going to walk away from the car down a nearby off ramp
anyways I made a mental note to check on her coming back
and she was still there
soooo I dropped my son's truck at the home 20, and returned to the scene w my trusty rig
and Shela of course
Now there's a van behind her car, and a feller working on changing the blown tire w *her* tools [ small stock jack, 1 arm wrench, etc. ] he's making a go of it but he doesn't know yet the spare is FLAT
I hand him my star wrench and proceed to air up the spare for him.
He shares as to how HE'D passed by this gal once previously as well and when he came back by she was still there and he remembered how his wife had had a blowout on the freeway about 4 months previous and someone had stopped to help *her*
And
BTW
He
Said,
" THANKS! For helping MY wife when she needed it!"
Happy Trails,
