Waiting for the light to turn at the intersection of North and Windsor, I saw a most lovely scene. A young woman had dropped a big pile of important-looking papers all over the sidewalk and street and they were blowing all about in the wind. Several passersby stopped and helped her collect them all from both sides of the street! Even a couple of cars stopped (not endangering anyone) so that people could help pick up the papers. I was so impressed by the kindness of strangers. We really do live in a great city. —Windy

to the older middle eastern guy who used to get on the 1 at the top of the HSC until recently. i saw you today at Dal and my heart stopped. I've crushed on you since i moved here, i wish i could work up the courage to say hey! —me

Thank you- for a job well done. Since the very first shuttle over you guys and gals have run that operation like a well oiled machine. Always on time, courteous, friendly and helpful. Thank you very much. —See you in the morning...

To the officer who sang Leftover Cracks’ "One Dead Cop" with my friend who was in the back seat of your car after she got beat up: Thank you. Take it down from the inside! —Still Hate the Police But You A’ight

You asked me where I came from—I had been knocking about in my parallel universe. Wrong time, wrong circumstances—but I'd rather pass on heartbreak than nibble on table crumbs. I am not one for compartmentalization; so you must remain an unfulfilled desire. I ask: are you able to love, and desire, one woman? Risk vulnerability? Burn the boxes in which you place us? I think this is your karma. —Wise Woman

There's no doubt in my mind a place as sweet as yours would have tea and cookies as a part of their daily special. But instead I'm going to assume you were extending some kindness my way after noticing the teary lunch I was having. It was very thoughtful. I appreciated it a lot, and will be back so much more often—even once the patio is gone for the season. —Waiter greatness
