Thursday, Farmer H thought it was safe enough for me to venture to town. There may be more on this story another day. For now, we're here to gasp at Farmer H's lack of help to a not-quite stranger.
"I was over at my storage unit, making a sale, when I got a call from Tommy. I haven't heard anything from him in a year or two. But around 11:30, he called me and said, 'I'm stuck here on the hill and need somebody to pull me out.' I told him I wasn't at home. That I'm over in Bill-Paying town. [25 minutes away] He said, 'But I need somebody to pull me out.' I just said I couldn't help him today. I guess he thinks I should be on call for whenever he needs something."
Don't think Farmer H was being callous. We have helped Tommy plenty. Farmer H would do it if he was home or even nearby. But he can't drop everything to respond when Tommy gets in a bind.
