Flat tire this morning on a 55 mph rural but busy road, pull over and start changing. The lugs are the hardest and I had to jump on wrench. Ok I had my mace on the seat just incase a strange person stopped. Nope I think every trucker in the county and pick up few by me. That's OK I was handling it. As I tightened the last lug a nice fellow in truck pulled up and asked if I needed help. Congratulated me on doing it and went on his way.
I got to the tire shop, got the flat out of back and rolled it to the door. Again a few men in there waiting and working.
I felt we are all equal, so it was ok. Either no one wants to help anymore or everyones feels equality is alive and well.
