Mr. Tow helps "Big" Star

I admit: I never read Via, the AAA periodical that comes to our house since we got our membership. Last night, though, my wife pointed to an article and said, "You might like this one." I'm tempted to say that it's eerie how often my wife is right, but in this case I think it's just a matter of having been married to me for as long as she has. The article involved a "green Volkswagen Bus."

Apparently, Tom Hanks (you know, the movie star) and his brother were tooling around the West Utah Desert in said Bus when they ran out of gas, and Mr. Tow was called upon for help. So, see, now I'm going to have to up my Netflix rating on any movie involving Mr. Hanks. If he drives a Bus, he must be a better actor than I've ever given him credit for (not that I've been especially stingy with credit for that guy anyway).

You can even see a clip on Vimeo (conveniently embedded here) of Mr. Hanks telling the story on the David Letterman Show:
