This week’s bouquets go to:

From Art Van Damme of Gladstone:

Two weeks ago my front tire fell off my truck as I was backing out of my parking space at Menards. I called Gene’s Towing, They were busy but promised to get someone there with in an hour. In the hour I waited, trying to keep a couple of spaces open for the tow truck, at least 10 people offered help, ride home, whatever I needed. When the two tow trucks showed up, they looked under my vehicle and realized a nut fell of the bolt that held my lower arm on that my tire was mounted to. They said we don’t have to tow this, we’ll jack it up. I just needed a nut for the bolt. My son was now there. He goes to Advanced Auto Parts to buy a nut, comes back. I ask him how much, they told him no charge, just take it. In 10 minutes, truck is fixed and I’m ready to go. Having lived in a very beautiful spot in Florida for the last 20 years, I knew right then I moved back to the right place, only in the U.P.
