    The tow rope was laying over the end gate of the pickup, hooked to the hitch below. It had been snowy, slushy, and messy. I wondered if the driver had helped so many stuck people that he simply left the rope hanging, readily available for the next person in need. How many people do we meet every day that need a "tow?"
