Nice to be back.<br /><br />I've also been known to take folks into a grocery store when I find 'em sitting outside & buy them $10 worth of food, whatever they want... canned stew, pizza, cookies. These days I think I'm more comfortable w/that. Heck, I'd even buy somebody a pack of cigs... I figure that's the LEAST of their problems. But no alcohol...DonkeyBusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663621929565084473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-8182490688554277742011-10-31T19:27:46.919-04:002011-10-31T19:27:46.919-04:00Meant to say, too bad about the seat!Meant to say, too bad about the seat!dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-82126982660167438072011-10-31T19:26:56.025-04:002011-10-31T19:26:56.025-04:00Thanks... and glad to see you back, by the way.

Met some very interesting folks. Only 1 bad experience: a young pregnant woman, clearly confused about her location (thought she was in another town altogether) (drugs? alcohol? mental illness?) who peed in the seat. <br /><br />I figure just bless the opportunity & good fortune.DonkeyBusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663621929565084473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-87624601304256793562011-10-31T10:25:19.763-04:002011-10-31T10:25:19.763-04:00Thanks.

I actually did feel good (later) about doing even such a small thing, and I probably have fewer resources than a thousand people who passed him without stopping.dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-79074128214421057402011-10-30T23:33:42.560-04:002011-10-30T23:33:42.560-04:00Good for you, and you know what, even if he did su...Good for you, and you know what, even if he did sucker you, which he probably didn't, it's no skin off your nose. You did something good, for someone you thought needed it, and for no other reason than *because* it felt right. I wish there was more of that kind of humanity in this world. <br /><br />I've only ever picked up hitchhikers a couple of times, and once I offered a guy a ride, but I was going in a different direction. If I'm by myself, I sometimes stop, but if my daughters are with me, I won't - not ever.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.com
