I was Motorcycle riding one afternoon in Arizona and failed (catastrophically) a tire. I called AAA to get a tow home to New Mexico. So far so good and a very competent driver arrived with a frame to support my motorcycle on the truck during transport. However…the tow company would NOT carry passengers so I was on my own on the edge of civilization. I called the AAA person and she said they would give me a discount on a rental car available in Tucson or Phoenix. Not helpful as these cities were FAR away from my remote location. Called home and got my wife to drive over to pick me up. The passers-by in Arizona were exceptionally kind and many stopped to make sure I was O.K. and had water. By the time my wife arrived I had received enough bottled water to bathe an elephant. Suppose my wife had been driving in a similar situation and couldn’t get ahold of someone (me) at home?
