My front tire blew out on my way home from work. I was on the Big Mac bridge when it happened, during rush hour, and there's no emergency lane.........so I had to keep driving till I reached an exit.......... I could hear ex-husband yelling "DONT DRIVE ON A FLAT!"................I called boyfriend and asked him to come help, and to hurry cause I was scared some psycho would come abduct and kill me..........................and while I waited for boyfriend to come I prayed that the Good Samaritan van would stop and help. The first person to pull over to offer to help was a young black guy. I told him my boyfriend would be there any second, for him to go on and go. He was nice enough, but I was scared and just wanted him gone. He left without incident................then I saw flashing yellow lights in my rearview mirror. It was the Good Samaritan van! He put air in my spare, took off the flat, and put on the spare........it took all of 3 minutes.......and as he worked, boyfriend showed up. Yay! I wasn't going to die today! The Good Samaritan van doesn't charge for his help, and he doesn't accept tips. So all I could do was say thank you to him, and feel gratitude that such services exist. I'm not sure why my tire blew.....I did notice a couple days ago that it was a little low on air.....maybe that's why it blew?
It's snowing here. Daughter just called from her dads house to tell me school has been closed for tomorrow. Yay! Remember how great it was when you got a snow day from school?

I stumbled on your blog and was suprised to read "Big Mac Bridge". Hadn't heard those words in quite a while. I grew up about 30 miles west of Big Mac. Just up the hill from the river. Glad you didn't have an accident when the tire blew.
