Good deed for the day
For those of you suffering global warming, we are having flash flooding last night and today. It has been monsoon rains for over 12 hours pushing lots of streams up over the roads. My kids and I were out looking at the flooding when we came across a car flooded out trying to drive across so we drove over and my son and I through the tow straps on the delta 88 and yanked it out. As we were unstrapping the first car on the road, did not another car with two teens try to drive thru the flooded road. they made it about half way and flooded out. We debated on leaving them since they obviously saw us yank the Olds out but we pulled their toyota out too. We notified the local local Fire Department who went some of their firepolice out to stand guard. Made my son feel like he did a good thing for the day and it was some valuable son/father time, never enough of that.

Re: Good deed for the day
Good for you and your son. I'm sure the people in the Olds appreciated your help, but I'd have been waaayyy more than tempted to leave the kids. 
Where are you in PA? H2Rocks and Oldhiker are supposed to go to Paragon AP just outside of Hazleton today.

Re: Good deed for the day
Good job! Also thanks for boosting the Hummer image. Now if only that had been filmed by a national news crew!
I have a friend who is not fond of Hummers. I just told him today that my Hummer may be the vehicle that rescues you after the next big one (earthquake).

That would have been great but of course they would have edited out the Hummer
