While driving earlier I passed a man who was in the middle Lane of traffic (of three lanes) trying to change his tire. I had to find a point to do a U-turn and pulled up behind him so he wasn't hit by a car not paying attention. Then we changed his tire.

About twenty minutes after I arrived a "Community Service" officer came up and added his car and lights to the warning for other drivers. A few minutes after that, a local cop added his.

We got the tired changed and Dave "Dude" thanked me for stopping. He was worried some distracted driver would ram into him while he was working on his truck. I told him that was my concern, too.

Overhere you're required by law to have a traffic triangle in your car at all times (in case of such circumstances, to warn oncoming traffic). I guess that's not the case overthere?
Oh.. good guy Jason... :)

Risk the damage to your rim and tire and get into a breakdown lane at least. He would have been ticketed for obstructing traffic in NY.

I also wondered why he didn't move over but he said he didn't want to damage the rim. I once drove a quarter mile on a rim just to get out of traffic.

And, I used to carry orange cones in my truck for such occasions, but I can't remember where they went so it's just Big Red Truck and flashers.

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked people who have overtly spammed a thr...
