People can be so kind [View all]

The day before yesterday, I managed to back my car into a snowbank on the side of my driveway. It looked like a demented chimp was doing the driving. It was good and stuck. Yesterday morning I heard the sound of a tractor, looked out the window and there was a neighbor on his tractor, hitching a chain to my car. He pulled my car out and then spent 20 minutes plowing my driveway and getting rid of the snowbanks. He wouldn't take any payment. This isn't someone I know well- just a nodding acquaintance. When I thanked him, he just said "well, we all need a helping hand once in a while".

It made my day.
