That is a great story! I almost wish you wouldn't have mentioned the depressing mystery because we are all curious..... yet also appreciate your discretion.
The other day in Nashville TN we passed a couple trying to push their truck towards the gas pumps as we were driving away....we didn't get far into the lot before we thought we ought to park and walk bAck to help. Had to find a decent space for our rig first with Jeep in tow. By the time we did we saw them yelling at each other and he was grabbing her by the shoulders at one point. So we decided we didn't want our karma run over by their dogma (or something like that) and instead watched in case anything serious occurred and it didn't seem to and they made it to the pump. You did a good deed, good on ya #40fan.
Made me smile reading the post.
