Having dug out from the "Storm of the Century" on Saturday* we decided to venture to the mall yesterday to celebrate my daughter's 10th birthday. Much to my delight, I had the chance to capture the image to the right. Not the best picture--a video would have captured the moment much better--but I did the best I could with a camera phone. In the foreground you can barely make out a man with a shovel. In the background is his Hummer. Stuck. As smaller cars and minivans drive by.

Now a good Samaritan would have stopped and helped. Right? Not me ! My immediate reaction: "Holy crap, I gotta get a picture of this and post it." I always have our readers' best interests in mind. While he struggled, I snapped pictures--from a distance of course, I didn't want him to think I was an [email protected]!&. After 15 minutes or so he finally broke free. The best part? Right after he drove away, a Toyota Corolla drove through the tracks he had made with no problems.

I chuckled.

I'm going to hell.
