being assistance.

So, tonight/tomorning, I'm coming home (It's 1:00 AM local time now, and I'm home about 15 minutes), and about 12:05 on the way home, there's a small pickup parked on the inside of the on-ramp.

I look at them and I notice there's a man, and a woman holding a baby. Now, mind you, I'm tired, and I have a long day ahead of me, so I slowed down, and drove past.

But, I rolled backwards and wound the glass down and asked if I could be of assistance. He apparently overheated, and needed a tow. It wasn't very far, just to the next overpass, so I agreed. It took us all of five minutes to get there, and another ten or so to get the van up the little hill, and push and position it into a nice spot.

I was offered some sum of money, I really didn't want money, but he was insistent. I was, however, more insistent on not accepting. He lowered his offer, and I still refused. I mean, as I said to him, "it's sometimes how I can help, you know?"

Apparently, they were stranded there since 7:00 PM, and nobody offered to help. I was in the company vehicle though, and I do wonder if they would be cool with me doing that, at least in their presence. They shouldn't right?

It was really nice to be able to help someone, and bring a little bit of brightness into their night.

I think my day was pretty okay, come to think of it... maybe I'll get back and talk about Good Friday, April 10th.
