I am driving along a somewhat isolated roadway in the early morning. There is a man laid out by the side of the road near the curb. His arms were stretched out, hands curled, legs up and bent at the knees. I stopped to see if he would move; he did not. I called 911. They asked me to wait and flag-down the ambulance; I agreed. So as I sat waiting, a security guard from an adjacent property stopped and got out of his vehicle. He thought I needed help because I had my hazard lights on. I pointed to the man on the side of the road. The security guard went to a nearby tree and pulled a branch off. I was not sure why he did that until he walked over and started poking this man with the tree branch. Low and behold this man raised himself up and said; “oh hello officer” just as clear as a bell. About this time the ambulance rolled-up. The security guard said, “I’ll take it from here, ma’am”. The universe was conspiring for his good for sure.
