I'd like to thank the couple from Champion Towing this morning for getting me out of my predictament on Pacific Ave. Much appreciated.

I manage a store at the mall, so staying home was not a option. Took me 2 hours to get to work (normally 10-15 minutes), but without the help, I would probably still be there. Got to work in time to open (less prep work done than planned due to taking so long). Brandon has great people in it, when you need them! "

You are the type of person that every boss would want working for them. I know i would.

Has been great to read and hear stories like this this week. As much as big snow events can be disruptive there's the silver lining of getting a chance to see just how many compassionate, helpful folks we're surrounded by in Westman.

Thats always my favorite part of a big snowstorm. Neighbors helping each other dig out, strangers pushing out cars together. Its awesome!

I stopped with another young guy and helped push a woman out that was stuck in the middle of the road. We pushed her out and she floored it giving us both a snow shower and kept on going without stopping to at least say thanks.  
 
Spouse and I will still stop and help or because we live close to highway have had to pull our fair share out with tractor. Lots offer to pay, we have never charged but they at least said Thank you.

Between 11 and 12 noon near Mac's, I had help by a very friendly, young fellow.  
 
I came home to mounds of snow and drifts in my yard and driveway. I climbed into my yard and eventually made it to my snow blower. I cleared my driveway as best as I could with my snowblower but understandably the city had not yet gotten rid of the huge,solid ridge across my driveway. My snowblower could not get through it.  
 
I really needed (wanted) to get my car in the driveway to unload my things so they would not freeze. I saw a guy working right close on my back lane with a loader. I wandered up to him waving my wallet (I had plenty of cash) and told him I was fairly desperate to get into my driveway and had cash (whatever price he wated) if he could please get rid of that huge solid hump when he cold spare a few minutes.  
 
He said ok, and that he would take a look. He got rid of the hump really soon and when he finished he honked, waved, and drove away with me running behind chasing him waving my wallet.  
 
I wish this kind soul a Happy 2017!
