Subject: RE: BS: having a bad week?
I had a nice experience this morning.

Whilst waiting for the bus a threesome from England were consulting amongst themselves as to whether they had the right change for the fare (the driver doesn't carry cash and it is a dollar and a half each way).

Anyway, I dug in my pocket and brought out three bus tokens and said that I buy these to give to the homeless people but you look pretty far from home so these will get you where you're going.

They were properly appreciative and then when we were going down the road the elderly gentleman asked if he could sit with me and then tried to press a five dollar bill into my hand.

I said, Oh, no. That was my treat.

And he said, Then take it as a donation for the homeless.

And I said, Thank you!

Wasn't that a happy thing! So many visitors seem oblivious to our lives here.
