Re: ** Random Acts of Kindness **
I had used Jess's scooter to get to my part-time job at Sweetbay. Unbeknownst to me, I had a flat tire. Someone driving by told me about it. I pulled over near the gate on Morse and 466 and tried to call Jess who, of course, was sound asleep and didn't hear her phone. A very nice man on his bicycle stopped, went to Sweetbay, bought some stuff to fix the tire, came back, put it in the tire for me and refused to even let me repay him. Anywhere else in the US, I would have been amazed that someone would do this. Here, I was truly appreciative but not all that surprised. It is just that kind of a community.
