Why do you continue to smile/make eye contact with me? I'm 30 years senior to you. I'm unattractive, curmudgeonly and don't smile. So, I am beginning to think that you think I need cheering-up. You're right. I do. So thank-you! —some random old fart on the bus

I would like to express my gratitude to the person at our community college who anonymously paid for my breakfast in the cafeteria on Wednesday. I had only gone up the hall to retrieve my forgotten debit card; I was shocked by the news that you had stepped in and paid for my nearly $10 meal. Thank you so much, I will certainly pass on the good deed —good morning

Idiot :) Of COURSE I'll marry you. I don't even get why you had to ask. —fork

A very kind lady saw a set of keys fly off of the top of my husbands Jeep. He had our 4 year old helping him to unload items out of his vehicle and into our underground storage unit. He also had my set of keys with him to get into that area of our building because he didn't have the access chip on his own ring of keys that allows you to enter this part of our building. Well..I guess in all of the hub bub that comes with trying to do "big boy" chores ... the really big boy (daddy) left my keys on the roof of his car, and drove off for treats down at the store. Well. After 2 days of searching and even cleaning out our overstuffed storage room. We turned up ..nothing!! We did have a clean locker room though. :) The amount of keys.. Including an FOB key to my car..was ..well.. let's just say that they were heavy enough to stay on the roof of his truck for 4 blocks! It occured to me to check kijji after all of that looking. It didn't even occur to me until after all of the frantic searching ! Well.. This lady risked life and limb at a busy intersection and retrieved them! Then posted her findings on kijji. I thank you. I hope you enjoy all of your Tim's treats ! Sincerely, " Not Keyless in Halifax Anymore". Just grateful! —I will make sure to go out of my way for someone .. Just as you did ..

Thank you to the lady on Barrington St., in the window above the 'T' Room. I heard you playing MacPherson's Lament on the fiddle and you made a lovely September day even better!

Cheers! —Redhaired guy walking

The little path from Novalea Drive to the parking lot of Acadia Lodge South is being paved. The path had a tiny flight of stairs (just three), but enough to made it difficult for those with strollers, bundle buggies, bikes and skateboards during the best weather . . . and impassable during the winter when the stairs were covered in ice. Brilliant idea - the entire path has been levelled and the stairs are gone. It'll be accessible year round. Yippee! The friendly paving crew is making itself very welcome with this improvement. Someone's a genius. —Hydrostoner

Thank you for not kicking me off your porch as I tried to find shelter while waiting for a late bus. I simply can not afford to have damage to my laptop as I am a struggling student. —University Gal

Well to my surprise, I hadnt been to the North West Arm, in along time until recently, and had been having my morning coffee.

And couldnt help myself but notice, a man there sitting In a blue-four door vehicle. Please let me tell you about this man, In the blue vehicle!

After, observing this man for over an hour, out comes his camera and a coffee and off he goes, to the end roughly of the Arm, and sits there and watches,and watches, and then off he will go, this man I had never seen this in my entire life, but this amazed me so much I had to just write about this.

This man roughly in his 40`s will get up camera in hand start making some sort of a call ,I think I overheard at least two, or three, but two forsure.

Anyway, when he does these sounds bald eagles show up along with ospreys! Moreover, this man ,will actually talk with these birds, back and forth with them all the while snapping away.

This is just a site I thought I would never fantom seeing in my life.

In addition, the way this man does this, is just amazing!

People, if you want to see a show, please drop by and see this man, actually do this.

Just yesterday, I thought I would go, and see if this same man was there, and yes he was, and this time he started setting up a few of those inflatable boats, and off he went !

Seeing I had a pair of binocolurs I started watching this man, (hope he didnt mind but he is such an interesting man).

Anyway, off he goes, like I was saying and into the ocean he goes, now the best part was he went over to the other side where the sailboats are parked for the summer fun.

And he goes to a certain place, and away he goes with these sounds, and out come two bald eagles (wow) and he just starts talking to them and they come in the tree`s and start talking back to this man? Unbelieveable, to me but hey! This person is something to see Halifax.

I will be heading there more often now, and the next time forsure I`am going to speak with this man.

One last thing here, if you are in the area, I will add a link to this post with the instructions as to where you can find this man.

This park is called the horseshoe island park and this is the link to it using google maps.

https://maps.google.com/?ll=44.63988,-63.61283&z=19&t=h

And if you get a chance, please go down there and have a look for yourself, seeing is believing.

This man will leave you wondering, and seeing how much this man values and loves, our wildlife we currently have in our beautiful province Nova Scotia. I had spoken with another man, who had showed up, awhile after I was there, and had asked him If he had ever noticed this man doing this, or had ever watched him?.

He had said, this was the only reason he comes there Is to really watch this man, and this man Is so involved and so loves bald eagles and the osprey,that he might not even notice you ,when he does these sounds that do attract these birds!. In addition, here I had thought I was alone!

And was also told this man, can be seen there most days, and evenings!

Thank you Sir for showing me how human beings can relate to the wildlife of our world. —Ted
