I always stop & help even when I lived in Los Angeles & some of that was before cell phones existed. Now I live in rural Ky & I always check if people are stopped or some when they are just walking along my road if I don't know them. One guy was walking with his bike along the rural highway at dusk. Stopped & picked him up & tossed his bike in the bed of my truck. He was never going to make it to where he was actually heading for. Hadn't eaten either. So I BBQ'd dinner & let him clean up & do some laundry & took him the 2 hour drive to where he was heading the next day. He was thankful & appreciated having someone who listened &
to talk to. Sounded like he was trying to figure out a lot of things in his life & just needed someone to care.

Have been first one at the scene of several accidents mostly single car accidents. Never know the cause but always on the phone with 911 while checking it out.

Oh yes, my strangest was herding a cow to keep it off the highway at midnight so no one would get hurt until the sheriff could come & help me get the gate open & back into the field.

So many people say it is stupid of me to do these things. Actually one questionable guy on the road near my farm I had climb into my truck bed rather than into my truck with me to take him where he wanted to go after I found out he ran out of gas, left the car in the middle of the road & walked off. Car was towed, I found the guy near my farm. Sheriff was looking for him & so I let him know exactly where he was. People are less likely to do anything to people in rural America cause they know we carry so don't take any chances.
