It all started with a blown-out tire on a Wisconsin roadside and a Pirates of the Caribbean movie marathon.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just start the movie without me,” Sarah insisted. She had planned to meet friends for a Pirates movie marathon after finishing work one night, but suffered a tire mishap on the way home. One of her new friends from the movie crew, Justin, kindly came to her rescue. He kept her company while AAA did its roadside duties.

A couple of days later, they bought a $1 deck of cards and started playing at a patio set inside Walmart while awaiting the tire repair. As they say, the rest is history – life had dealt them a sweet hand. To this day, they’re still playing that same deck of cards.
