humanity at its best

[Xhiler8r]

I lifted this from another site

this is what being a humane person is all about in my eyes

I'm moving soon to North Maclean, so my ride to work will be about 47K instead of 6K. This prompted me to buy a set of Colorado Chaps to wear over my work clothes for some leg protection on the onger ride, and I got them before Christmas.

And today I got an email, reproduced below with a small edit for privacy reasons.

"I'm sorry that I was so unawares of the plight of your city/country. Our news has been engrossed in the slayings in Tucson Arizona.
My thoughts and my prayers go to you, your family, and your neighbors.
I just refunded $100. to your credit card ending in XXXX
When you are able, please contribute this to a family, your church, the Red Cross, whom ever needs it most there in Brisbane.
My heart is with you and your family and your country.
We are really all one, on a tiny earth................."

Well I'm flabbergasted.

So if you think you might like a pair of inexpensive, custom sized, unconventional chaps I must recommend you take a look at http://www.coloradochaps.com/motorcycle_chaps.html

I bought the Cordura ones with Mesh back and they work well.

They aren't a fashion accessory but when you are as short & fat as me nothing makes you look good.

She even replied to my order politely because she figured I had mixed up the thigh measurement and the inseam and wanted to verify (the thigh measurement was bigger!), Lorna is a nice person to deal with.

Basically most people in this world are honest, decent people at heart. On the news we see the worst, the minority - people like this restore our faith in humanity.

What a class act thanks for sharing Bill. Who did you donate the discount money to mate?

Mate that made me a bit teary eyed and gave me goose bumps at the same time.
(We are really all one, on a tiny earth.................") I wish more people could understand this!
