Lonely wanderer on Highways 19 and 130

[mella l]

Going to town the other day I passed an older gentleman walking on the highway. I drove right by and it occured to me he had a cane and was old enough to be my GRANDFATHER, and that would be really old. So I made a u turn and came back around, found a spot to pull over to the side. Rolled down the window, and he came up and I asked if he would like a ride to where ever he was needing to go. He said thank you that would be swell. It was only about 2 1/2 miles to where he was headed.

On the drive to his home he tells me he walked to the casino earlier in the am as he didn't think he had enough gas in the car to drive. Well let me tell you that was a 5 mile am treek. He said he had fun at the casino, but was draggin trying to walk home! My word, walk a mile for a camel, walk 10 for the casino? Well my good deed, only the second time in my life I picked up some one on the road, and this one wasn't even hitch hiking! LOL!
