[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1278600, member: 14668"] Dogs loose? They were running down the highway, 2 of them almost got hit and there was almost an accident at 55MPH. The dogs saw my truck, ran up to me, and jumped in to get a cookie. [B]Are you saying I should have just pushed them back out on the road and left?[/B] Tree falling down--it took out the phone line and the power to the house. This was before cell phones. There was no other way out, [B]I wasnt going anywhere until the tree got cut through, [/B]so it was either do it myself or wait for hours until her husband got home. Big cow running at me? There was a major highway less than 1/4 of a mile behind me. A 1200 lb cow getting hit by a car at 55MPH is a potential fatality. I had the means to prevent that, so I did. 2 years later, the people who owned that cow wound up towing me out of a snowdrift, saving UPS hundreds of dollars in lost time and tow bills. Good karma saves $$ in the long run. Cant get up the driveway, try again tomorrow? Most of the time I would agree, but this was NDA meds for a veteran. Plus I got to ride an ATV on the clock.
