On the way home from the party last night we came across a guy sprawled on the curb about two blocks from our place. I pulled over to see if he needed help and he turned out to be drunker than anyone I have ever seen (including myself after the whiskey party). Glasses askew, unable to stand, blood on his face from falling on it… the works. All he could say was, "Too much to drink," over and over. So I stood with him to hold him upright and tried to find someone in his phone to call (stupid Windows Mobile OS is not intuitive for searching!). I ended up calling 911…which was busy at 2 AM on NYE. Go figure. After 10 minutes of trying (for 911! god help us) I finally got them. When the fire truck arrived 5 minutes later, he stumbled off, terrified. They found him a block later.
My good deed of the year is done.
