A Verry cool thing happened today
 

A verry cool thing happened this morning ,
I was on one of those mindless drives accross the bean , rice and cotton fields that are NW arkansas and SW Mo, when i suddenly relised i was going to the wrong customer ( a customer that I have been spending LOTS of time at, I guess the truck and my mind were both on auto-pilot ) , so I turned onto I55 ( Major N-S highway ) headed north , a little while later i saw this van on the side of the road with smoke rolling out of the hood I slowed down and when i saw the Louisana plates i pulled over .
The engine of the van was TOAST , something sticking out the side of it ,BIG puddle of oil and coolant . I asked where they were headed , they were going to stay with a brother in Chicago ,I asked for some ID ( to many folks trying to scam nowadays ). I called AAA and explained , the operater put me in touch with his supperviser , he called the tow truck and the tow truck driver called his paster and browed the church van( there was 8 of them all togather ) , hugs and hand shakes later and they are on their way ,
this was about 9:30am , at about 2:00pm the supperviser from AAA called me to let me know they had arranged for the family to get a ride ALL the way to Chicago !!!!!!! :biggrin: :) ;)

That made my DAY !!!!!!! :D :D :D

Well done, Sir. Kudos. :beer:

Awesome man. We need to hear the good stories, thank you. g

outstanding!

Good job, ZippyT!

I suppose it is implicit in your tale, but...were these unfortunate people victims of the storm?

Well done in helping out, Zip.

Splode , yeppers dudes id said New Orlines , he said what i saw was ALL that was left , but he didn't care about the material things , those could be replaced .
He cared that he and his family were safe .

Thanks folks but all I did was call for help , AAA took the ball and ran that Mother HOME !!!

But that's the secret. Maybe you can't make a major change by yourself, but you may be able to get the ball rolling by doing what you can. I can tell you from experience that's true.
Zip, you went the wrong way and were behind schedule which is a perfect excuse to blow right by that van.... but you stopped and made the difference. :thumbsup: :notworthy
