dad, mom, and i were in new hampshire today to
get a new car for dad. we went to the lexus dealership, and after a good back
and forth negotiation, he bought a 2022 rx350. it doesn’t come in until later
this week, but he’s locked in. afterwards, i found a southeast asian restaurant
in manchester. we ate, talked about the new car, and spoke on the antique car
show going on right next to us. on the way home, as we’re waiting at a light,
there is a lady with a cardboard sign asking for money. a guy driving the car
in front of us got out, opened the back door, and handed the lady a big
suitcase with a few bags. the suitcase was nice, it was one of them light ones.
then as he got back in the car, he held out a slim jim with a dunkin donut gift
card. that was so sweet. that really made my day to see good out in the world.
it’s a much welcomed difference from the bad we’re shown on social
media/television on the daily. it’s got me thinking that i’ll put clothes and
necessities in an old suitcase and do the same. it’s a grand idea.
shoutout to that guy in the suv, i hope both god and the universe bless him.
