Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | While at the grocery this A.M., I got some cash from my debit card as I paid at the Self-Checkout lane. On my way out of the store I must have dropped the grocery receipt and the cash, just $20. When I returned home I couldn't find the cash I'd just withdrawn and called the store on the off-chance someone found and turned-in the money...
someone did.
It was great to recover my $20. It was better having someone return it. |

Stories like this are always nice to hear. |

And knowing you Jeff... it won't be very long before you "pay it forward". |

Like one drop of poison in a clear glass of water. |

| I can't believe those hicks - they find $20 and give it back? What is wrong with these people? Have they no human characteristics? I am disgusted by their behaviour. Jeez, next thing ya know they'll be donating body parts. |

I sold "my" Ute for more than I was askin'.
I'm not sure what to say other than, it's good to have friends...
Thanks, Schroeder. |
