AMERICA NO MORE

My blog is about people in america. A few years ago I drove a transfer rig (18 wheeler) up to Eugene Oregon from Sunny Valley Oregon to sell a load of steel. Everything went fine until I ran out of fuel on my way back home(broking fuel gauge wire) . I thought that's ok it's summer time it's 103 degrees and there is none stop traffic going north and south. And with my 2 red 5 gallon fuel cans someone would see the transfer along side the road and then see me walking with 2 fuel cans and would stop instantly and give me a ride to the nearest service station. Which was only 3 miles away. Now mind you I'm a clean cut and nice dressed man. Well at about a half mile with no one stopping I stuck my thumb out to maybe get a response for a ride and still no one stopped. So I walk another mile knowing good and well there is going to be a good old american stop and give me a lift, But still no one stops.  About 2 miles into my walk I'm getting hotter and sweating like a summer rain, All of my hopes for a good america are now going down the drain with the rest of the _hit. I ended up walking all the way to the station and getting my fuel and telling the attendant what i just went thru. He was nice enough to give me a ride back to my truck. Even thou it was against company policies. I have always went out of my way to help people in need. And at one time I would of picked the guy up and took him back to his truck and make sure he got it running. I would have understood if i looked like a scrounge, and was packing a knife while acting insane. But I was not. Maybe someday people will get back some morals and values to take a little time and stop to give someone a hand.
