About 6 a.m. Monday, after the snow passed, Rutledge was staying at a truck stop in Whiteland. His brakes were frozen, so he went under the truck to fix them. That’s when the truck shifted in the snow.What is the lesson? Never go under the cab without a Bluetooth.

“It caught my left side and my left arm was pinned by the axle of the truck,” Rutledge said.
He was stuck in below-zero temperatures, unable to move.
“I wound up being frozen to the pavement in the snow,” Rutledge said. “As I got colder and colder, I was yelling but nobody could hear me.”
That’s where that miracle – or maybe something more – came in.

Florida Man is Lucky To Be Alive.
We're all lucky to be alive . . .
Until we aren't.
Once when I was 6 years old I got trapped under my covers in bed one night.
I thought I'd never get out.
So I know exactly what this guy means.
Plus, an advantage to bluetooth I've not seen acknowledged is that hooked up or not, activated or not, while having one on your ear you do not appear quite so mad while walking along talking to yourself.
