(Now I have one of those computerized things I carry in my pocket and just push a button on the door handle to lock it and open it. I think it was invented for absent-minded people like me.) But, anyway, I don't think I've come close to getting my money's worth for that annual subscription but I wouldn't be without it.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-29690951339503032432016-08-16T14:07:16.385-04:002016-08-16T14:07:16.385-04:00I've had Triple A (aka Three As) since I start...I've had Triple A (aka Three As) since I started driving.<br />I have no issues recommending them to anyone else.(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-90207834593938219922016-08-16T13:59:35.860-04:002016-08-16T13:59:35.860-04:00I'm really happy this did not turn out to cost...I'm really happy this did not turn out to cost you an arm and a leg. I'm happy someone stopped to assist and I'm happy that the woman helped you all those years ago. I believe there are amazing people in this world but you've read my blog. Everyone's an "unsub." I suppose I should lighten up on that a bit and be a little more open to meeting and accepting help from some of these amazing people that roam this earth. As long as it's during the day with a lot of people around. Preferrably near a police station. :) HahahahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6533309417074506582016-08-16T12:00:53.374-04:002016-08-16T12:00:53.374-04:00I love a happy ending.

A pickup truck full of Mexicans stopped, help push my car to the side of the eight lane freeway and drove me into LA to find a mechanic.

I had a similar thing happen when I was a commuter college student, long before cell phones. A professor I had never met picked me up and took me to campus, letting me use his office phone.

Even though I also got him a new cell phone, he'd have no idea who to call without that AAA card number.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-57551583279080319392016-08-16T08:50:48.774-04:002016-08-16T08:50:48.774-04:00There ya go.

We've been stuck on the side of the road many times, and so if i see people stuck, i make sure they have a phone they can use and someone is coming to help them. We used to stop and give rides or go purchase cans of fix-a-flat for people in the days before mobile phones.<br /><br />Because of the recent flooding, there were people stuck on the highways recently for up to 24 hours. They were all walking from vehicle to vehicle, sharing what food and water they had and just being company for each other until they could be rescued. One food delivery truck driver knew he'd never make it to his destination, so he just fed everybody who came, lots of raw, fresh fruits and veggies.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-11216499081246658402016-08-16T03:38:57.483-04:002016-08-16T03:38:57.483-04:00Yes, there are some nice people around.
