Answer Within Reach

It was several years ago when a man and his wife were found frozen to death in their car. A first-rate blizzard had dumped tons of snow in the area. Eventually they had to pull to the side of the road, and being inexperienced in such things, he ran his engine until the gas gave out. Before she died, the woman scribbled a note on a piece of paper and stuffed it in the glove compartment. The note read: “I don't want to die this way.” She didn’t have to die that way. Less than six feet from their car was a stranded bus. Inside that bus were some cozy passengers who kept warm through the night.
