While at the grocery this A.M., I got some cash from my debit card as I paid at the Self-Checkout lane. On my way out of the store I must have dropped the grocery receipt and the cash, just $20. When I returned home I couldn't find the cash I'd just withdrawn and called the store on the off-chance someone found and turned-in the money...

someone did.

It was great to recover my $20. It was better having someone return it.

There are a lot of good people still left in this world. Sometimes it is just hard to find them.

Stories like this are always nice to hear.

That kind of thing help to balance out the crappy things you hear.
And knowing you Jeff... it won't be very long before you "pay it forward".

Good stuff happens all the time and more often than you think. Trouble is bad news spreads faster and easier.

Like one drop of poison in a clear glass of water.

I've seen my mailbox, and I've seen Jeff... I'm not worried.

Besides, there are regulations to protect me:

Just a few drops of gasoline in the water prevents mosquitos from breeding. Better than poison, well maybe not......

I can't believe those hicks - they find $20 and give it back? What is wrong with these people? Have they no human characteristics? I am disgusted by their behaviour. Jeez, next thing ya know they'll be donating body parts.

I've just been the beneficiary of yet another, unexpected, act of kindness by, most unbelievably, a resident of the Kingdom United...

I sold "my" Ute for more than I was askin'.

I'm not sure what to say other than, it's good to have friends...

Thanks, Schroeder.

Jeff did not take into account the currency exchange rate......he actually received a lot less than he expected!
