A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to ask if I was okay and if I needed any help after I was involved in a small auto accident last week. The brakes blew out in my car and I chose to crash into a snowbank instead of the car in front of me. Special thanks go out to the group of teenage boys from the adjacent home who wasted no time rushing over - no matter how small an action it may have seemed, it spoke volumes about the kind of people you are. My faith in humanity has since risen a few notches. —Dartmouth Damsel in Distress
