THANKS: From damsel in distress

Thank you to the many people who offered help last Tuesday evening when I had a blowout at Honeysuckle and U.S. 95.

I was waiting for the service of the AAA. Nevertheless, a young man helped me find my emergency blinkers, and many people continued to stop and to offer help. Finally when the AAA indicated after my second call that I would be waiting a half hour longer, a young man changed the tire in five minutes after coming a second time to offer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And while I was directing traffic around my car, a young lady gave me her knit cap! So warm, thank you. It was really cold on Tuesday night, but all your kindness was heart-warming.
