Here's my current practice: I carry small boxes of raisins in my bag, and offer it to the homeless who ask. It doesn't solve their problem, of course, but it allows a moment of human connection between us, along with a bite of something sweet and nutritious. And it's easy to carry.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626125377274987332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106221024087263603.post-12169890410427826802010-04-07T13:21:07.938-04:002010-04-07T13:21:07.938-04:00Thank you so much for sharing both stories.

Michael, believe me, I'm one of the first people to comment on how nasty most Metro bus drivers are, which is one reason I wanted to share this story. When I first told David about it, I said, "I should compliment the driver to Metro management, but they'd fire him for being too nice." ; ) Seriously, I'm glad this touched y'all as it did me.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261420110467034277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106221024087263603.post-26236560690372431652010-04-05T06:46:01.903-04:002010-04-05T06:46:01.903-04:00Sarah,

While most of them are nice folks, we only seem to hear about things they do that are wrong.<br /><br />3. I'm sorry ;-) but you can't be snowed under in DC right now. We <b>all</b> were snowed under in February, and it's just too nice outside for that to happen now.<br /><br />Chag Sameach ... now time to finish preparing for more Yom Tov!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106221024087263603.post-56408445321646433952010-04-04T18:21:15.595-04:002010-04-04T18:21:15.595-04:00Sarah, that is SO wonderful.
