From a memory in 1977...
Friend had borrowed my car a couple weeks before, had a flat
after running over something in the road. Never informed me of that.
So there I was on a long trip to my vacation spot. Broke down
with two flat tires, at about 11 o'clock at night, on a deserted side road.
Had to walk about 3 miles back to find a house with a light on and knock on the door to get help.
I was lucky, an old man answered and instantly asked me if my car was pulled off of the road- I answered yes.
He then said, come on in, sleep on the couch there until morning, we'll get up, have breakfast and then get you fixed
right on up. Countryfolk, you gotta love 'em..
Next morning true to his word. He took me to my car, we grabbed my flat spare , then went to the nearest town , nearest opened tire service center and they had me ready to go quickly. He then drove me back to my car and even thanked me for giving him something to do.
As he lived alone(for the last 11 years he said), was 74 years old and was bored out of his mind.
I have forgotten his last name but his first name was Paul.
I then headed on to my vacation spot and met my girlfriend there as she drove in later that day.. -Tyr
