A random act of kindness

Just now I was driving back from the doctor's office and stopped at a red light. A storm had just passed through and I could tell that my lane straight ahead had a giant bumper lying in the middle of the road blocking one maybe two lanes. As I contemplated how to maneuver around the debris, I saw on the opposite traffic direction a woman got out of her van (which was also stopped at the red light), ran into the lane, and pulled the debris into the median. Later when her van drove by, I saw the logo for the nearby Marriott and when I got home, I called to tell the manager of her good citizenship. The clerk who picked up said the manager was not available but said he would take down my message and pass it on.

Realitically, he probably won't pass along the message but it was the effort that counts.
