Everyday heroes
I love those sappy stories in Reader's Digest about people who do something heroic like diving into icy-cold water to save a puppy, or running into a burning house to save a kitten. This past weekend in Phoenix the driver of a tractor-trailer saw a man threatening to jump from an overpass, and he threw him a bunny. No, just kidding, he parked his rig underneath the man so that he wouldn't be able to jump.
No one knows who the good Samaritan is—he vanished into the sunset—but I do feel like he deserves thanks for stopping and making a difference. If you know him, truckers, send me an email at lspikol@philadelphiaweekly.com. When I was a little girl my CB handle was "Half Pint," so I'm legit.
