Dave, you are getting soft on us?

I have a similar story, but it involves a '67 beetle, frozen lug nuts, a hitchhiker, and a long stretch of Iowa road in about 1981

Same deal otherwise though. My dad always used to stop and check on folks at the side of the road (pre-cell phones). It is just what you did.

^^^^Around here we still do. Just this last weekend we stopped to help a couple of guys who’s back tire had passed them on the highway. Not a well traveled road, no cell coverage, and it was COLD. Couldn’t get their jack under the axle since it was now sitting on the ground. Our little jack couldn’t lift it. Came in to get cell service, about 25 more miles, and got ahold of the wife. She was just leaving to go on a search. They were very much ‘stuck without a paddle’. I like to think we all want to help out when able.

There is a story that in the winter years ago Bill Gates got stuck between Ennis and Big Sky, Montana. A local fellow got him going again. Bill Gates sent him a new Suburban. The fellow had no idea who he had helped. Maybe this is apocryphal, and maybe MTV can confirm or modify this.

A couple of weeks ago a fellow plunged off the road into our winter canola field. My son dragged him a half mile to the field entrance road. It’s what we do here in the normal course of events. Unfortunately a new high school has been built about two miles away, and now we have to contend with vandalism. I just found out that my pickup has a passing gear: that’s what it takes to merge with the traffic around here.
