Past the point of no return I see a truck stuck half way up a hill. I wait and wait and finally pulled up and see it's a lady. A crackhead lady. A pill billy if you will. I inch beside her and tell her I will pull around front and pull her up the hill.
As I start to go, the snow on mud gives way and I slide into a ditch that eats the half of my truck and I'm tilted pretty far up in the air from my driver seat. I tell her I'll make a call to get us out but I have no signal, my phone isn't dying and I don't have a charger because I put it in a work truck. I've got options for help but can't get any of them without a walk to higher ground.
Her boyfriend shows up walking, and as I'm walking up the hill I see the, start backing down the hill and eventually they get turned around and leave.
I'm in the ****ing ditch because I was trying to help them....and they just ****ing bailed. I didn't need their help, but it's the idea.
I know the closest neighbor and he brings a tractor and pulls me out. He says I don't owe him but he's getting a case of beer and maybe a bottle of crown because I appreciate the help.
I pull onto the highway and go 100 yards before I see another truck broke down with a couple of kids....I decide this is a sign I'm supposed to help someone today and I stop....he does t want any asssistance.
Now I'm home, wet and grouchy......
The only blizzard I expected this late in the spring comes from Dairy Queen.
**** this noise.

Sorry man. People suck.
FWIW I'd take your blizzard. We're dry as all holy hell and I'm worried about getting corn up on the dryland in a couple weeks. We got cold as balls but didn't get the moisture.
