I was driving on the Interstate yesterday. While passing a truck towing a trailer and Polaris quad, I noticed the rear ratchet strap on the quad was swinging in the breeze. So I pulled up next to the guy, and tried to hand signal him that the strap was undone. ( Of course the attempt left him looking at me like I'm spazzo or something  ) I motioned him to pull over and pulled ahead, turn signalling to the shoulder. When I ran back to tell him his strap was undone, he said "I'll have to pull off further up, I need more room than the freeway shoulder has to get into my wheelchair to fix it. Thanks for letting me know." I said "you're in a wheelchair? I got this it'll only take a minute." As I was re-securing the rear strap, a large red fox went racing across the freeway just ahead of us. It felt good to help. Nothing heroic or life changing, just a chance to do some good. I feel great.

It does make you feel good to help someone that needs it. Good on you.

George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Good for you M, I've never understood a person's unwillingness to help another.

You either helped out a fellow man in need or became the World's biggest sucker... You DID see a wheelchair in the back, right.?

Good on you, Mark. Knowing you a bit, it doesn't surprise me at all that you'd do such a thing for a stranger.
