Me alone. Flat tire in parking lot. Empty trunk to find donut tire. Me trying to loosen lug nuts unsuccessfully.
Car pulls up. Man gets out. Speaks broken English, possibly Latino. Asks if I need help. I explain the situation. Gym work does not help. He takes instrument and patiently loosens lug nuts. Replaces my tire. I thank him and offer $5. He refuses. Gets in car and leaves.
\Hudson County gets a bad rap. Not the richest, nor the best educated. But once in a while someone will do something like this and give you hope.
Now I need to double my exercises to strength my arms. Thankfully, no woman was in the car with me.
