Get well soon Mr LeDell, your generosity is an inspiration to others. To the hundreds who came out to support Mr LeDell and his family, you are also an inspiration and what Minnesota Nice is all about. Thank you Mr LeDell and members of your community for showing it still does exist.

Helping someone is not just "a Christian thing" to do. It's common decency, regardless of religion. I have helped many people in my life jump-starting cars, with directions, and so on...

I don't believe in churches and all this god-speak, but I do make sure the car is in park before the key is turned.

Chuck- Next time find the facts on the story before you make comments. This is simply a story about a person helping another person in need.

I remember this story from when it was first reported on the local news. The car wasn’t started by turning the key but rather jumping the solenoid by the mechanic which is done all the time. The unfortunate incident happened when the woman couldn’t get the car started and had a local battery store replace the battery. When the car still didn’t start Mr. LeDell offered to help by jumping the solenoid to see if he could determine the problem unaware that the automatic car had been left in drive.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Capricorn

Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched.
