I can't believe how nice everyone is there and not in a fake way, just in a "default is being nice" way. As opposed to NY where people are kind of like "default is being suspicious". Anyway Austin rocks. You guys are lucky. Also I like Veggie Heaven. Catherine and FlatGreg: I visited Austin for the first time this year and I loved it.

Not only do they help you out, they pull over to help -- you don't have to flag 'em down. In fact, they literally line up to help. Even the creepy businessmen in sleek cars help in their own way: They slow down to about 10 mph, roll down their window, hold up their cell phone and ask if you need them to call 911 for you. I'm not necessarily saying Austin is better than NYC, I'm just sayin'. Yeah, people here in Austin definitely help you out in situations like that.

New Yorkers can be tough but they don't have to be rude. I was shocked really. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that ever here. Queen D: When I was in junior high on a family vacation to somewhere that involved camping, we drove through Arizona and our car CAUGHT ON FIRE and three people pulled over to help us out. It was all very sweet of them. Ian: You know, it's just hypothetical.... Doretta: Yeah we were full of curses. I mean I couldn't believe it. They were ON THEIR WAY HOME. They were holding Gymboree bags! They were old, so I'm assuming they had grandchildren. Their grandchildren are going to grow up to become total pricks. Tracyene: Yeah I really don't look that threatening on a Sunday afternoon, holding a coffee and a cell phone and looking a little desperate. Your husband is a good man. I've stopped before in the middle of a highway in the middle of the night after I've seen an accident go down to calm the driver and call 911 and wait. The driver was drunk, but still. As a human you have certain responsibilities. I mean, really. Debora: I know that New York is a “tough” place but there’s totally a difference between being “tough” and a total prick.

Which is nice because I get to sit in the car, stay warm and pick up some reflected good karma from his good deed. The only thing that bothers me is that I'm always afraid life will imitate movies, and it's not a stranded motorist, it's a serial killer and Peter will end up decapitated. But still. Even I wouldn't have been concerned in broad daylight on a busy street with loads of witnesses. My husband, Peter, always stops and helps the stranded motorist.

Feel good about that. Here in Phoenix, one of two things would happen: 1. they wouldn't see you because everyone on our highway is an ass, so you don't actually see faces. Only asses. Don't ask me how they steer. 2. They would drive OVER you in their overpriced Escalades because you were delaying their tee-time which for some god-awful reason always seems to start at freakin' rush hour!!! 3. They would drive INTO you because they didn't see you while talking to Muffy on the damn cell phone while driving AND giving themselves a freakin pedicure!!! Crap, that's three things. Okay, well, one of those things might happen in Phoenix. Have a lovely day... FOOOORE! Well, at least they acknowledge you. Feel good about that. Here in Phoenix, one of two things would happen:

I was in a movie theater parking lot, in the day time, during the week. It was almost empty. A guy pulls up and offers to help jump my car and I think missed the beginning of his movie. I could not stop thanking him. I have never been refused help in MN. Wow, I needed a jump for my car on a -10º day in Minneapolis, MN.
