Not really a feel-good story, but a good pick-me-up... at least for me.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Back in 1998 the wife and I were returning home to Calgary after visiting family for Christmas here in Kelowna and we both had to return to work in a couple days so anyways I start losing power and the car starts to die and I'm coasting down the highway and come to a stop just before a road going to a mill. I pop the hood , and realize my alternator is fried. We are almost at golden. Anyways trucks start coming out on this road , end of shift I guess and a couple fellows stop to help. One of them says I live close by and if you can make it to my house with a boost I have tools and I'll help you fix it. This guy had us over for dinner with his family, drove me to a parts store and climbed under the car with me in the winter and helped me change the part. Fired her up and we were good to go. Now I offered to pay this gentleman for his time and generousity and he would have no part of it. We were screwed without this guy and 24 years ago didn't have money for hotels/mechanic etc. It was something I will never forget as long as I live.

If you have his name and address you could still thank him now with 2 dozen beer or roses. :biggrin:
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
