Goodyear


So how can you turn a bad year into a good one? Easy, go to Goodyear.

It's no secret to some that being a stay at home father means sacrificing some things. There is only one car, one parent working, one income. So money isn't always available when you need it the most.

It's been a very difficult year and at times things only look to get worse when your economy is getting as bad as it is. But sometimes there's just people out there that make a bad year into a good one.

My tire on my driver side was extremely bad and I've been limping it along to my wife's work and my kids school for the past couple of weeks. Thankfully my wife works about 2 miles from the house and the kids are about the same distance in the other direction.

Goodyear was kind enough to not only fill my tire with air over the past week but to give me a used "new" tire for no charge until we get paid on Saturday.

Here's the kicker to some. The entire facility is filled with Iranians. So for those who think that all Iranians are nothing but horrible people who are hell bent on the destruction of the world... you may want to look at the people a little closer.

Granted there are people who are in control of that country who are relatively dangerous for many of those around them, but so is this countries leaders.

So thank you to those nice men and woman at Goodyear.

You raise a poignant point that is best summed up in the old adage: You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

Unless it's a Danielle Steele book.
