The Adventure Continues....

Cardate Sunday 16:20 - Beka stops near Danville to fill up on gas. Beka locks keys in car. Beka tries all her old tricks to try to break in and then going to extreme measures of calling for help. Beka works for an hour trying to get her keys while waiting on help, forming blisters on her now soft office hands. Finally a man in a van offers his assitance and unlocks the car in minutes. He tells me to spread the kindness as in the country song. Can't remember the name of this song, but it is about a man stopping to help a woman change her tire and how the kindness is spread from there. Well....I think he may have jinxed Beka.
Cardate Sunday 17:20 - Good ole Honda goes lame. Beka pulls out jack, spare tire, and tools and starts to set up jack. More help was on its way...a motorcycle pulls off to help Beka (even the rider helped out) .
Cardate Sunday 18:00 - After the tired is changed Beka goes on her way to Greensboro NC to find a place to get a new tire as the old one is shot. Everything is closed. Finally finds a auto parts store that is open but they have no tires. One man calls other stores while another gets his buddy to run home and see if they have a spare. Six different men were helping Beka out....well at least trying to. This day I was glad for kind people. But even with their attempts nothing could be found.
Cardate Sunday 20:00 - Beka gets a hotel room and waits the night out to get a new tire in the morn. Beka acted as if she was a tired traveler with a lame ride, staying at an inn for a night....oh wait...she was!

Heh, fun times. Now you've got to go around slashing people's tires so you can help them, right? >;-)
