Hero: Jan Langdon, a Pt. Reyes resident, drove her cute MINI south on Greenfield Ave. in San Anselmo during the afternoon commute. While at a stoplight, a woman pulled up beside her. “I’ve been following you and your car is losing fluids big time.” She gazed at her gauge. Sure enough, the needle dropped into the red as she watched. She turned off her car right there, dialed AAA and then signaled cars to go around. Another Good Samaritan offered to single-handedly push her car to a stand of pine trees. After that maneuver, he decided that he should get her car across Sir Francis Drake to give the tow truck adequate access. And, so he did. Two heroes and a ton of thanks from Jan.
Zero: We found Donald Trump lurking in two places at the Marin County Fair this year. The Democrats’ booth flaunted a poster of the presumptuous nominee’s face, with his big mouth open, to allow visitors to throw bean bags into his gullet. Not to be outdone, the Trump exhibit featured a full-size cardboard cutout of the Donald, stubby fingers and all. Oddly enough, fairgoers reported that two Trump workers, both women, left the stall and informed people at the nearby Lyme disease display, that they do not support the candidate. While we’re amused that Trump was unable to attract enough followers to man his booth at a county fair, shame on those ladies for taking his cash and talking trash about him at the same time.
