Like a Good Neighbor (a.k.a......sometimes it pays to watch commercials)

Friday evening in a nutshell:

* Dinner at Cheddars with Andrea and Lacy

* Lacy gets flat tire and parks in the State Farm parking lot

*Andrea teaches Lacy how to change a flat tire


*As Andrea tightens up the last lug nut local insurance agent Darrel Walker pulls into the parking lot

*Mr. Walker informs us that if we had State Farm they would have paid to fix the flat

*Andrea informs Mr. Walker that she wouldn't get to be the hero if we called the insurance company

*Andrea sings the State Farm jingle

*Mr. Walker says "It pays to know the jingle"

* Mr. Walker dishes out $35 to the three of us and says "State Farm is still going to pay for this flat tire"

* Nice conversation with Mr. Walker about insurance, church and music

*All three of us sing the jingle one more time just for kicks (and because the State Farm man had just given us money)

*Everyone gets back in their respective vehicles and proceed with the night as planned


Conclusion: Neighbor or not, State Farm really IS there......
