Tire Chains

“I’m packing tire chains in the boys’ luggage. Just wrap them around the tires,” the father of my two nephews advised.

“Sounds easy.” I reply. “We’ll have fun in the snow!”

Three days later, my nephews and I are standing by the snow-laden roadside with tire chains wrapped around the axle.

We look forlorn and lost. A park ranger passes by, a CHP passes by, and a dozen travelers glance at a young woman and two children in distress.

“Lady? Need some help?” says a tatooed Hell’s Angel over the roar of his Harley.

“Please! You are an angel. Thanks.”
