Wild Ride and Good Deed

Traffic was moving along smooth today, a mix of semi trucks and cars. I get behind a Mustang GT riding in the fast lane, he goes around the slow guy and into the middle lane I stayed with it, doing the same. After about 30 miles I get past him and I can say this young guy was not happy! After a little while he got ahead of me, he was a happy. I look in the rear view and I see a maniac coming, flying, but I was in his way so he goes behind the two semi`s behind and they box him in, No sh*t! These truckers were messing with Mr. speed. He gets around the trucks and flies, right passed Mr. Mustang GT. OH NO! Mr. GT was having no part of this! Nope, he speeds up leaving me behind cause I aint wantin to die. But before I get to see Mr. Mustang catch the idiot driving 90-100 mph I got to my exit and turned off, giggling a little because I know the cops are just over the next hill when the speed limit goes from 70 down to 60. Now while waiting fir Tony to get his IV junk I walked down to the vending machines fr a drink, on the way back I heard a man moaning. I looked up and this old frail fellow was trying hard to roll himself in a wheelchair, I stand at the office door and ask, " Are you okay?" He said "Yes, this thing is hard to drive, next time I will hunt one with a motor." I replied " I reckon you can buy those nowadays, do you need help." and a man came up that was listening and asked the man did he was a push he was going his way and the man accepted. I held the door open and he drove the man into the office. About 30 minutes passed and the man came our from the back, and waited for his appointment card. I asked did he want me to help him to his car and he accepted. So I leave my book and drink with the appointment lady, tell her I am helping him to his car, and I drive the man out to his van that is all the way to the back of the lot, then it hits me " Put the lotion on the skin." Catherine got kidnapped by helping someone at a van! (Silence of the Lambs) But I did not get kidnapped and the old man that has cancer said " I sure hope Santa comes to see you." I wished him a Merry Christmas and took the wheelchair back inside. So that was my excitement this Monday and my good deed of the day! How was your day?

It's really sad that we must worry about helping the elderly these days. I saw an similar episode on Criminal Minds about the wheel chair guy taking a woman. It's scary that some prey on kindness. It was really nice of you to do so.

That aggressive driver was asking for trouble! They swerve in and out of traffic, every time we travel on the freeway. Hopefully, he got stopped by the police:( I'm glad you helped that man get out to his vehicle, some people wouldn't even offer!

I had nothing so nearly as exciting or wonderful. I went to school, worked a while, shopped at Dollar General, came home and cooked. I tried to catch up online, but it is not happening.

That was nice of you. What is it with guys and passing them, has to be an ego thing! My day was alright, just wanted to make sure I got to see some of what you and a few were up to before I hit the sack. Hope you have a good night or day tomorrow.

Ha ha ha isn't that always how it is we are in the middle of something when we suddenly think about the bad consequences. I think I would have done the same as you and risked it to help someone in need. You were very kind. The world needs more people like you!
