I am not quite ready to give up on being a human being, and that means helping others. Last fall I was going to town, and just past the elevator was a small car off the road in a steep ditch, and the car had only 3 wheels on the ground. A young lady had tried turning around after getting lost and went over the edge. As soon as I stopped, another farmer on a tractor stopped, as well as another lady passing by. While we were deciding if we could pull her out safely, a state hiway department truck stopped and turned on his big warning lights. That controlled traffic, so we hooked the tractor up and pulled her car out. Not only was she happy, but she was on her way quickly and without having to pay for a tow. If that had been my daughter in the ditch, I would have hoped someone would help her. Point is , at least 4 or 5 people stopped in a matter of 5 minutes to help. Of course, someone called in an accident from their cell phone and as I was getting to town after it was all over, I passed the police, ambulance and fire truck heading the other way. Saw a fireman later in the day and filled him in-he figured something like that happened. Lots more unnecessary calls these days (especially fire calls) from "good samaritans" with a mobile phone. For volunteer squads in small towns, false alarms put a strain on the ability to respond to real emergencies.
