The thread about people who do weird and/or hateful stuff made me think about good things folks do without being asked.
Yesterday my wife picked up our granddaughter from school and took her to emergency. Being low on the triage criteria, (migraine), it was several hours before the doctor was available. Part way through their wait, the wife was trying to get something from a vending machine. The device would not accept her $5 bill. After a few tries, a lady approached and passed her a bill to try. That one worked and she accepted my wife's bill in exchange. Later, a fellow was getting set to "make a run to Tim Hortons" and asked if he could pick something up for her. By that time relief was in sight, so she declined with thanks. She later said she was struck by the sense of community in the waiting room.
There are good people out there. I've been fortunate to meet many of them.
