This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net in my part of the world, everyone knows what it's like to have your car stuck in the snow, but opinions vary on how to get out.

When I last got stuck, my neighbors were quick to remind me.

An old lady told me to shovel more.

A young man said, use sand behind my tires.

An older man said, no, use rock salt instead.

But it takes a special sort to go beyond advice and actually help.

In this case, it was my mailman.

We performed the old standby.

I hit the gas in reverse while he pushed.

Thankfully, it was only a minute or two before I was free.

I offered him thanks and money, and he refused both.

Then he said, I've been doing this all day.

So we shook hands and off into the blizzard.

He went on that note, I'm James A.

Brown and as always, be well.
