Here’s one to hopefully brighten your day. Just this week my wife Mary and I went to Costco for gas. We pulled into the gas pump area, and there was a car just like ours already in the pump area—a white Chevy Malibu. As the elderly gentleman got out of his car, I mentioned that we had the same car, and he smiled as if to acknowledge the comment.

After we pumped our gas and the gentleman did the same, we both returned to our cars. I noticed that he was delaying the exit from the pump area, and then he got out of his car and walked to ours. We opened the window and put on our masks. He then said that his car wouldn’t start and that his wife had the key fob, but she was shopping at Aldi up the block from Costco. He was bewildered and wondered if we could drive him there. Of course we said yes. Certainly we were somewhat troubled what with Covid-19 being rampant in our area, but he was so upset that our sense of kindness and charity kicked in.
