A good samaritan...

We were driving into Brownsville.  When we came to a stop at a stoplight, the car next to us signaled to roll down the window.  I looked in my mirror to see if anything looked suspicious behind us... the guy in the car said, "You have a big bulge on the inside of your tire - driver's side, back tire!"

I thanked him and rolled the window back up.  This is not the place to step outside your vehicle - we drove to a safe parking lot, got out, and checked out the tire... not a scam, there is a big ol' bulge on the inside sidewall of that tire.  Next stop: the tire shop!

Nope, they didn't have that size truck tire in stock.  On to the next; nope, again.  These tires are less than half worn - we decided to order two tires, to keep them similar.  We'll have to go back sometime in the next week to get the tires changed out, but we have the spare on for now.

I have to admit, I was leary when the guy wanted me to roll down the window.  He was just being a good samaritan.  I feel bad that I was suspicious.

When was the last time you looked at the inside sidewalls of your tires?  Yeah, me, too - never.  Looking at that bulge, it could have blown at any time.  Or, at the worst possible time.  As it is, we were able to deal with it in a non-emergency way.

Yep, a good samaritan.

Sometimes , we tend to be pessimistic and suspicious for those people whom we does not know physically and mentally yet gives concern to us and we can only appreciate their goodness if something happened in good reasons.So be welcome and appreciate kindness.
