Small Things Count

Yesterday while I was coming back from my dog-walk I saw that, while I was gone, construction workers had torn up the sidewalk at the corner of my court. Since I couldn’t get my mobility scooter around it, I had to backtrack and go around garden-debris piles along a busy Santa Teresa Blvd. I asked the workers to keep an eye out for traffic for me. They went a step further. One drove a piece of equipment with warning lights out onto the blvd., made a U-turn, and drove slowly to block traffic behind my dog and me until we were safely on my court. They didn’t have to do that, but they did, because that’s the sort of small things good people do. Thanks, guys!
