Nice stuff

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Today, in NYC , a jogger, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, came across a shoeless homeless man sitting at the curb. After a brief conversation, the jogger removed his sneakers and gave them to the homeless man, on the spot; then, he continued down the sidewalk in his bare feet .

How about sharing something nice, here, of which you have become aware or personally witnessed.

This morning when I stepped out to bring our empty recycle bin in from the curb, I found it already tucked next to our garage door. Across the street I noticed another resident of our immediate neighborhood walking away. I thanked her, she acknowledged my thanks, and she continued on her way, returning newly emptied trashcans and recycle bins from the curb to their respective garage door homes!

Hi Dan, Quite some time ago, I had concluded that my immediate neighbor, to my right, was doing that with my garbage cans, after 7am pick-up, tucking them in at the bottom of the driveway, right next to the garage door.

When I have found myself up earlier than he in the morning, I have done the same for him, no matter that he is a strapping young man who fixes motorcycles inside his garage and can easily get to the cans later in the mornings. I figure, when he is tired and has not gotten up to get his cans inside, I can at least get them away from the curb, which sometimes means they are lying on their sides part-way into the parking lane. Actually, I don't try to figure any of that out; I just do what I can to acknowledge and return his kindness.I want to honor the gracious gesture by him. I believe he wanted to be supportive in any way possible during this difficult time for me, these past seven months.

And speaking of legends...
1975:
I had occasion, today, by happenstance , to hear "Diamonds and Rust" sung by Joan Baez. A video was part of the experience.

If there ever were a vehicle that could take a person back-in-time, it was that voice and that song, especially given the shots of her and Bob Dylan throughout the film.

What were you doing in 1975? Tell us about a favorite experience, in 1975. Or thereabouts.
Nostalgia. It can be nice stuff.

Excellent point, Hondo! "Nice stuff," indeed! If I may ask, did that affect you personally?

If you were living in Spain, probably, but it also spawned a running gag on SNL that lived on for a long time and made me giggle.

If it made you giggle, then, nice stuff, indeed, Rufus.

70's SNL made those years tolerable.

Such big moves take a lot of courage, commitment, and a sense of adventure, in my estimation.
