Re: Whew! More Pleasant Story

Many years ago I was in the Mesa/Tempe area watching a concert and
firewoks show with a date.  On the way back over the Salt River my car
died on the bridge.  I told my date to get behind the wheel and I would
push.  It was stop and go traffic.  Mostly stop.  As I got out of the
car several guys boiled out of a pickup truck behind us and told me to
get back in the car.  They pushed us up the bridge, down the other side
and a little way into an open parking lot.  Probably a couple miles.

They asked if we needed a ride, but I called a cab and we spent the
night on a the couch of a friend who lived nearby.  The next morning I
got a ride back over to my car to find one of the businesses in that
little strip mall was an auto parts store.

I fixed it on the spot with tools I always kept in the car.
