WHEN YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP?

WHEN YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP?

Are you a person who believes other people are placed on this planet to give you a hand when you get in a tough spot? Or are you like most MEN, who will drive to the ends of the earth before asking anyone for directions on how to get to a particular place while driving?

With a good GPS in the car or with Siri and the I-Phone, men are now saved from THAT embarrassment of asking strangers on a road trip how to get somewhere.

There are plenty of other places where a helping hand from either someone you know or from a stranger, can go a long way in getting you out of some jam.

I get stuck in the sand all the time. Soft sand trails pass for roads all through the area where our home is.

Usually it's sand, but once or twice after a flash flood I've been stuck in what to all appearances seemed to be a sinkhole of quicksand.

Although I've been driving everywhere on this desert where we live for the past 40 years, I still end up getting the car or truck I'm driving stuck up to the floorboards once or twice a year... So far M. has never been with me when I get stuck. That's because when she's riding with me I take the trails and roads that are familiar to us both that we know are passable.

When I'm going someplace on my own in one of my old cars without a Global Positioning device, and with just the cheapest piece of crap cell phone, I like to explore the countless sand trails to find out where they go. I've been known to barrel down a sand trail I've never been on before, and even when the sand keeps getting deeper and deeper, I always tend to figure if I just step on the accelerator I can make it through to the black top road just ahead... Not!

When this happens to me, I feel it's my punishment for being such an ass. To get out of deep loose sand, the only sure way is to jack the car up and build a road under it of brush or old lumber or whatever is around the place. So far, stubborn little ole' me hasn't asked for help when I get stuck.

What about asking your friends or family members for a loan of money? A credit card debt you've watched grow to amazing amounts is a prime example of that need. Stuff you've bought even while knowing you couldn't afford it, mounts up rapidly.

If you're still single and just out of school and you find even with your fresh Bachelor of Arts diploma, you can't find a job, are you tempted to ask your parents if you can move back home-- just until the brass ring on life's Merry Go Round presents itself to you?

Have you ever asked your friend to fix you up with the guy or girl they're buddies with because you just like the person so much, but are afraid to ask them yourself?

The world we live in is filled with places where a helping hand can help to put our feet back on the ground. Don't be like me--a stubborn old geezer who has to do everything for himself.

M. knows me so well. When I get in predicaments needing help, she's there for me. I do the same for her. She and I seem to be cut from the same stubborn cloth.

by david stardust... August 23, 2016 ...Tuesday morning

The pictures below are of my old Dodge Colt stuck on a sand trail that got hit by a flash flood. The water washed tons of sand over the trail.. The temperature on that particular day was 105. I had to jack the car up and lay old planks that I ripped from an abandoned cabin, down on the trail for a makeshift road. After a lot of work, I finally got the car out of the deep sand and on firmer ground. Fortunately, I had a gallon of water with me, and I always carry a shovel and a hydraulic jack in the trunk.. just in case! These pictures of my car that I took that day, are about ten years old, but the trails here haven't changed much in those ten years.

    Quoting sweet_VM:
    I would help out as much as I could. That car looks pretty stuck. I never use that Sir on my phone hugsss V
Most of these trails are horse paths.. There used to be a large horse ranch about five miles from our house..They went out of business when the man and his wife split up and a nasty divorce and a lot of attorney's broke up the flow of money. Customers from Los Angeles boarded their prize horses out here..
