Well, that was disturbing and rather embarrassing.
I was one my way home from school today, went to turn into our driveway, and ended up in the ditch instead. First time that's ever happened to me. Fortunately, the ditch is rather shallow. Unfortunately, it is also full of snow, so I got stuck. But, there is a benefit to living out in the country, in the same county that you were born in. Our neighbor and a perfect stranger driving down the street both stopped to help me. Together, they towed me back out of ditch and got me back into my driveway. Funny thing, the stranger who stopped was someone who knew of my Dad (he's a Radio Technician, has ran his own business since before I was born). Small world, huh? The nicest thing of all was that neither of them even suggested that I call a tow truck or wait until Dad got back home to pull me out. They just assumed that they should and would help me, and were very cheerful about it. It was very nice, and definitely reminded me of how nice people can be. Now, I just have to remember to send my neighbor a nice Thank You card. Not sure how I can thank the Stranger, since I don't know his name, so - Thank You. I really appreciate your kindness. Next time I see someone who needs help, I'll be sure to stop.
