Gandolfini & 50 Cent Come to Travelers' Aid After East Coast Blizzard

    From Fox News:


    The wicked snowstorm that pounded the East Coast earlier this week managed to bring out the best in a few Good Samaritan celebs this week. This is great! What nice, good-hearted people. 

    “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini came to the rescue of a stricken motorist in his New York City neighborhood Monday night, the New York Post reports.

    The actor, who lives in the neighborhood, spent 45 minutes helping to dig and push out the stranger’s car.

    Gandolfini kept the holiday spirit going by popping into a local bar to break change of a $100 bill. He then passed out $20 bills to the other people who helped him to dig out the motorist.

    According to the bar owner Phil Casaceli, Gandolfini was a “real gentleman.”

    But he wasn’t the only star shedding his tough guy image to help folks out.

    Rapper 50 Cent Tweeted his plans to earn an extra few bucks Monday.

    “I’m going out to shovel snow and see if I can make me a few extra dollars today. I’m charging more if they want to take pictures,” he wrote.

    50 said he wanted $100 per house and managed to convince four neighbors to pay it. He also enlisted the help of some neighborhood kids for $30 an hour.

    "One is a cute kid he has on a snow suit. So I'm sending him to ring the door bell to ask if we can shovel there snow… When you look at his eyes its hard to tell him no." he Tweeted.

    "Then I come to tell them how much they have to pay us. Lol," he Tweeted.

Snow, Glorious Snow! Or Not? -- Father Knows Best

    It was one heck of a journey getting home from classes today.  SNOW!, Glorious, SNOW! . Or NOT?  Thank God for there being a neutral gear.  The neutral gear is very useful in inclement weather.  While driving home, and what seemed to be before the snow plows and salt trucks made it to the back roads, I almost went swivy swervy into the next lane.  Well, may dad has given me great driving advice over the years.  My dad was a great driving instructor!!!  He has always emphasized to me the importance of using neutral when going sliding in the snow.  As the saying goes, Father knows best!  And, it is oh, so true!  Then, while traveling on a busier route a dang truck splashed a huge amount of slush and snow right on my windshield and I couldn't get my wipers to work for a few seconds. Well, I was close to panicking.  I tell you, those moments felt like an eternity to me at the time.  Thank goodness I got my wipers to work, and I didn't crash into anyone in front of me and no car crashed into me either.  I do believe that God was watching out for me.  It ended up taking me about three times the normal amount of time it usually takes for me to get home.  The back roads were awful. I was lucky there weren't too many cars out on the road.  We are forecasted to get anywhere between 10 and 14 inches.  My husband gets done with work at midnight and I am supposed to be picking him up tonight.  Oh BOY!  We'll see how picking him up goes. Round 2 with SNOW, glorious, SNOW., or NOT?  He might end up calling a cab and I hope the cab drivers will still be working with the snow accumulating like it is, because I really hate driving in the snow.   I am home, safe, warm and in my apartment relaxing for now. 

    Here is an episode from the T.V. show, Father Knows Best:
