Sorry you were late getting to where you were going but IMHO, it wasn't the responder's fault you had the flat tire. I had a flat along the interstate last year and waxed the whole side of my coach waiting for the repair truck....enjoy life a bit and quit expecting someone to jump when you beckon....Dennis
