AA 12 Step Service... I remember Hauling 20 gallons of water to Cohasset, CA. (Near Chico) - I was the Man with the Van and my Friend's Tenant needed it.

Automatically doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done... is a great way to live. 

The tenant was an old lady... The water was for drinking and bathing. and since I Could do The Work... I Did... EASY!

We met through AA and I did the "Service" and felt happy to be able to serve.

Bob Law was the Landlord.

Then I drove to Oregon and Washington State... where the van's transmission died... and then the engine caught fire... on Highway 5 near Centralia, Washington... I had to take Amtrak Home. The van got smashed at the junkyard recycling center in Vancouver Washington...
