The other day, I was on a crowded bus for an intercity commute, and was sat beside someone who was reading. So I got my book out and started reading as well. At the end of the trip I asked her what she was reading and what it was about, and added the associated series to my reading list. I also told her about my book. We parted ways and it made my day a little brighter. Does anyone have any similar stories of brief good encounters with other people?
I just had the cast from a broken wrist taken off the day before. Couldn’t use the arm yet, per doc. Got up the next morning, 6” of snow fell overnight. My car was parked on the street, and a plow had already been by and piled it up to near the door handle. Got in on the passenger side, started the car to warm up and grabbed my big scraper to start clearing off the car. Dude finished pushing a car free across the street and walks over, sees my sling and says, “I got you! Go get warm in the car”. Took him close to 15 minutes, completely dug me out and scraped my windows. His name was Brian. He saved me that day.
