    The Kindness of Strangers

    The Wonder Falcon conked out while I was driving home from work today. I think that the fuel pump quit. The car had stalled on an inside left turning lane on a divided road at an intersection. I couldn't get to the side of the road without pushing the car up a slight incline and through a traffic light. I was pushing away and wondering how I was going to get it through the intersection before my strength gave out.

    Then, two young guys in their early twenties came running up and got behind and starting pushing and we rolled through the intersection and I got it off to the shoulder of the road. Those guys were life savers. Before they ran back they told me "Nice car!"

    The other drivers were polite and didn't start honking at me for blocking one of the turn lanes. I called AAA and a tow truck was there within five minutes and towed the car to the mechanic that I use.

    Everything worked out, but man, I would have been in a pickle if those two guys hadn't helped me out.
