I wish I had gotten some pic's

I was heading to work the other morning and thought I would stop at the local truck stop for my morning cup of coffee. As I was coming upon the entrance I noticed that traffic was backed up rather bad. I took the first entrance in and figured I would slip out the rear entrance. When I started into the parking lot I found out what was wrong. There was a semi that had gotten his trailer stuck in a snow pile while trying to leave. At that point I saw the funniest thing. There was an Explorer hooked to it trying to pull him back into the parking lot. He was puttini a hurtin on it. The auto hubs were clacking and he was backing up and slamming the chain trying to move him.

At that point I pulled down and offered to help pull. As I got out of the truck to hook thew chain to mine, I thouhgt I had made a serious mistake. There was people watching everywhere. I was going to be embarrassed if I couldn't do it. I put the truck in 4 low and pulled him back with out any problem. I was so proud of my lil truck. Granted the truck driver was trying also. He was just stuck on ice and couldn't get it to move. I just wish I would have gotten some pics.
