When it snows I become the driver to work for the family. It wasn\u2019t too bad, just stay in the ruts and avoid the deep stuff. <\/p>\n<p>After dropping off the last one, I turned for home. It was still dark and hard to see. At the first corner I turned too sharp and found myself stuck in the deep snow. Great! Here I am seven miles from home, tires spinning, going nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>To my right was a large empty parking lot. I noticed a car seemed to be parking  close to the street where I was stuck in he snow. Two men jumped out and ran to my car. They tried to push my car out of the snow, but it was too deep. Then a Van pulled up beside my car and a man got out, talked to the other men, and attached a tow strap to my car and used his Van to pull my car out of the snow bank. The men talked again then got into their vehicles and drove off. I yelled out at them: \u201cThank you and God Bless.\u201d  People are great.  Life is good.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2021, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
