I was on my way to our first rehersal at the theater for the show when I noticed that my car was overheating. I pulled over and let the engine cool, then proceeded to look for the nearest gas station. To be completely honest, I know NOTHING about cars. So I dialed AAA. At that moment this guy drove up in this beat up old car and asked, “what’s wrong with your car?”. I said, “It’s overheated, and the mechanics here went home”. The guy replied, “I’m just here waiting for my girlfriend and have twenty minutes to kill. I could help you if you like”. And he did. He put antifreeze in the radiator and got it all situated (Don’t laugh. I know what to do now.) How nice. This huge, menacing looking guy helped out a total stranger at a gas station. In Los Angeles nonetheless. Now if everyone could learn to be this nice…
