    I got stuck...

    This morning I was on my way to the post office when I decided to pull off the road at a golf course where I like to photograph Moorhens. Well my windshield was all fogged up and the side windows were as well. To make a long story sort, the ground I thought was flat turned out to be a ditch and I drove headlong into it. I tried to get out, but I only had one of the powered tires on the ground and it was very muddy.

    I sat there for 2 hours untill a cop finally stopped, and the then my hero in his huge semi-cab stopped and saved my 80 bucks!

    I never even made it to the post office.

    THANK YOU MR. GREEN!!!

    Yea for Mr. Green!

    getting stuck on the side of the road is never fun. I've put the Taurus in a ditch before, skidding through snow and ice after a rather nasty april winter storm, I had roadside assistance through Ford so they sent a truck to pick me up. But I had a nice man in a jeep offer to, but since the truck was on it's way I turned him down.

    I burried my moms Cutlas in a farmers pasture (read swamp) one afternoon while attempting to go fishing. He had to pull me out with his tractor. Only cost me a 12pk of Bud and a little pride.
