I almost got a closer shot, but the little guy was camera shy. 
Snow has been blowing these past few days here — thankfully, not quite Snowmaggedon … yet.
I observed a lovely gesture on the streetcar today that I thought I’d share. It is freeeeezing — so cold even the ice sculptures are shivering — so any wait outside for the bus or streetcar feels like an eternity.
Our car was about to shut the doors and move on when a young guy carrying a skateboard (not generally considered a winter sport, but there you go) hopped on and asked the driver to wait. “There’s someone running to catch you,” he explained.
Now, I’ve raced to catch a streetcar (or bus) many times and sometimes the driver is kind enough to wait but other times, I get right up to the door out of breath and the driver zooms off, cackling an evil laugh (okay, I made that last part up).
But no, this driver nodded and waited the few seconds it took for running guy to reach the door and huff-and-puff his way onto the car.
And me? Just before I got on the streetcar, I’d been in a store and tried on a bunch of different pairs of snowboots in different aisles. And instead of just leaving the ones I didn’t want where they were (for the store clerk to put them back), I walked around and returned them to where I found them. At least I hope that was a good thing …..
P.S. Song for the day. The legendary Etta James who passed away today from leukemia at 73. May she rest in peace.
about putting the boots you tried on back on the rack where you found them >>> Yes! A very good deed! I am sure the store clerk really appreciated that! (I worked one summer in a Wal-Mart show department, haha)
*shoe department. if that was not obvious haha
Good to know, thanks aB!
