My Good Deed
We got a lot of it today.
Started around 10 AM, and had at least an inch by 3 this afternoon.
The leaves being blown off the trees onto the road made some turns and intersections like trying to stop on ice.
We have a lot of visitors come around here on the weekends since we have George Washington's boyhood home, and Stratford Hall, and James Monroe's home, and a few other places people like to visit, and they are not used to driving the back roads, much less under adverse conditions like we had today.
A few of us had decided to put out some crab pots one last time earlier in the day, and I had decided to drive down to the boat dock and check to see if the boats were still tied off OK, and shoot the breeze with the others for a while, just an excuse to get out of the house really.
Well, on the way home, Just past Monroe Hall, I saw some flashing lights, and I knew what it was before I got there, because when you come out of Monroe's home, you crest a hill and come to a stop sign in a short distance, and the combination of that, and the hard rain, and the slick leaves had left a family stuck in a ditch.
Without asking, I just pulled around them, and then back up some, got out and hooked my chain to their tow mount on the frame, and then to my hitch on the truck, I went to the window and told the guy just put it in neutral and turn the wheels and I will ease it out.
Sure enough, a minute later he was out, and I was unhooking the chain. He got out and said " I tried to call for a tow, but had no cell signal ". I said " yeah, signal is a little weak down here ".
He then said " can I pay you something ? " I said no.
He then said " you still have a McCain sticker on your truck, you guy's do know Obama won right, ha ha "
I guess I should have charged him
But anyway, it's always nice to help someone, made me think of this song

LIES !
Why go on TV and tell us this crap ? Were you afraid McCain was on his way ? Why was everyone against McCain being there to help get things going ? This is not a new problem, and these guys have been working on it for days ! McCain says he is coming to town and you rush out and shout that you have the solutions. NObama did not want anything to do with the discussions, but GW said get in here now, so he had to come. The Republicans are holding things up, but it is because they are looking out for us, not trying to keep the crooks that got us into this safe.
I am glad McCain decided to go to the debate tonight, and with no pre-written comments or answers for NObama, we will all be able to see him for what he really is. He sure was hot to get out of DC
These liars are sending reports that a plan will be reached sometime Friday night, after the debate, well maybe so, but the market is closed all weekend, so they can sit around all weekend and argue if they like.
Is this our future ? How many of us are a couple paychecks away from losing everything ? The next few days will tell, and no one is safe
