A tale of two incredibly handsome men.

So, I actually lied, this story is about Josh and I.

(Which makes this a tale of one incredibly handsome Josh and sidekick. Bollocks.)

So, today started pretty well, got up a bit earlier than normal. Around 9:30. Got all ready for my day, you know how it goes. Around 10:30, Josh phones letting me know that he is on his way to my house so that we can drive my vehicle down to Juniper to partake of some sporty activity. I know, you read this and scream, "What! Matt doesn't do sports!" I know. I was startled as well. I played a rip roaring game of soccer. Even scored a few goals. Didn't know I had it in me.

After finishing our most satisfactory game of soccer, Josh and I departed. We stopped at McD's in Valleyview to get some drinks and a little lunch. Which was superb, obviously.

Afterwards, we decided to head for Aberdeen. Perhaps to hit some golf balls around up at the driving range on Aberdeen Golf Course. We got up the on ramp into Aberdeen, but there was a great deal of traffic in the way, Josh being a superior driver decided that it would be in our best interests to head to the Pacific Way on ramp. We were puttering towards home, when we saw a camper van type vehicle parked on the side of the road. Making sure that the person was alright, I took a closer look. A lady in her mid sixties was standing in front of the camper looking mighty distressed. I rolled down my window and asked her if everything was alright. She told me that her car had broken down, and I told Josh to pull over onto the side of the on ramp. We hopped out of the car and walked over to her. She told us that she was from the east Kootenays, visiting a girlfriend in town. She had no way of getting a hold of a tow truck, or of getting a hold of her girlfriend. Josh started to talk to her, checked some things in the camper. During this time, I phoned home to get a number for a tow truck. With the tow truck on it's way, Josh and I stuck around to make sure the lady was ok. A half hour after parking on the on ramp, the lady was back in her camper and heading to Canadian Tire to buy a new battery. It felt really good to help this poor lady in her time of need. Sweetest little thing. I regret not getting her name, really quite sad actually. I hope the remainder of her trip goes wonderfully.

After that excitement, Josh and I headed home, grabbed our golf clubs and headed to the driving range. My meagre golfing skills have degenerated significantly since my last time out.

Now it's off to work for seven hours. Oh boy, what a way to end the day.

P.S. 

I wonder, did anyone else see the hand of God moving today? He was certainly with Josh and I.
