My son Cole's real name is actually Coleman. Today, he met Koleman Vance, who's worked at Les Schwab Tires for 10 years. He's a cool dude and was really surprised to meet a fellow Cool Coleman.

We were down there waiting in line like everyone else to buy tire chains for the snow. I love having Cole or Greta along with me when we have funny little interactions with strangers. I tend to be a little more chatty when they are around. I like them to be free to engage people and have some street smarts about strangers. Koleman made our day.
