So I've been without a car for a week and a half, due to a hit and run that left my car undrivable. And you know what? Its been nothing but humbling. I'm always willing to give others rides as long as they don't live to out of the way. But when the tables are turned, I'm finding out how much of a relief it can be when you actually have no way to get somewhere that you need to be, and someone happens to finally pick up their phone and say the 6 magic words that make all the difference: "Sure, I'll come pick you up." I've been stranded at work 4 seperate times now, with the I-15 inbetween me and anywhere that I could possibly want to walk to, and each time, a friend has either been willing to wait a couple hours for me to get off, or come out of their way to pick me up.
