Sometimes people are nice. Monday I was on my way to my health care [View All]

provider in my neighboring town. Part of the route was in town, six lanes of traffic (three each direction) with a median.

An older fellow decided he needed to cross all six lanes, without benefit of an intersection. Had a cane, and a very pronounced limp.

He stuck his free hand up and started across. All six lanes stopped as he limped his way across. No horns blew, no one inched ahead, everyone just patiently waited.

I was on my motorcycle, and could see many of the faces in the cars around me. No grimaces, no expressions of exasperation. No one started moving until the guy was safely on the sidewalk - not even the ones in the three lanes on the other side of the median.

It was very nice to see.
