Good Samaritans

My life can sometimes be a one-woman show. Yesterday, I managed to get my car stuck in the mud - and, oh, how it was stuck. I tried first gear; tires slung mud. I tried reversing; mud still went everywhere. I was starting to feel a little panicky - I wasn't sure how I was going to get out of my car without ending up in mud to my knees - when one of the neighbors drove by in his pickup truck. He saw my dilemma and offered to get a chain in order to pull my car out of the rut (I suppose the chain is yet another indicator of the bang-up job I did of getting my car stuck). He came back with the chain and attached it to the undercarriage of my car, and we slowly proceeded to reverse out of the mudhole. I don't even know my neighbor's name, but I am incredibly grateful for his assistance.
