The HERO guy on the interstate

A few days ago I had to go downtown Atlanta for a few errands and decided to drive my car, a 2008 Pontiac Solstice sports coup convetible. After finishing my business, I put the top down, my sunglasses on and started up 75 north on the connector. After going about 3 miles or so, some papers in my pocket blew out and were floating around in the car.  I was slowing down to park on the outside shoulder and retrieve my papers, so I put on my emergency flashers and proceeded to stop. I leaned over to pick up the papers and immediately saw the big yellow rescue truck with flashers everywhere. I had not been on the side of the interstate for more than 10 seconds and help was already behind me. These guys are good. The driver got his stuff ready, departed the truck and walked along fast moving traffic towards my car. When the driver got to my car, he ask if anything was wrong and I answered no, I was only picking up papers that blew out of my pocket. He replied that it should be illegal for a car as pretty as mine to be broke down on the roadside,  we laughed and I replied that it is illegal and we chuckeled some more. This man was very nice and polite, I thanked him for a quick response, apologized for taking him from more important duties,and we parted our ways. These men and women who are HERO drivers are constantly putting their lives on the line to help those of us who have stopped for any reason on the interstates. I applaud these people and ask that you slow down a bit when passing them or any other motorists that has a break down. HERO drivers are tops in my book.
