I had seen this man dozens of times, always walking along the side of the highway about 4:00 in the afternoon. One hot day, I spotted him resting in the shade of a wooden fence (we don't have that many trees in north Texas) and offered him a ride home.

He was very friendly, telling me about his new job at the truck stop and how, not having a car, he hoofed it close to ten miles each way, and was trying to save enough cash to get a place closer to work.

I offered him money towards the deposit on an apartment, if he agreed to show me his sweaty, tired feet. Needless to say, he now has a much shorter daily commute to the truck stop.
