I met the most amazing human being yesterday.
My truck badly needed diesel fuel so I headed to the local Earp’s with has BP fuel. The diesel pumps are inefficiently distributed among gasoline pumps which cause congestion. Diesel fueling takes longer because of capacity of fuel tanks.
I digress.
I spied an open pump just behind a gasoline pump. As I pulled in a Toyota Prius maneuvered in just in front of me blocking my access to my pump.
Now I was going to have to wait for him to fuel, buy lottery tickets, comb his hair, etc. before I could fuel. It’s the way of the modern world.
To my surprise he motioned in such a way indicating if he moved just a bit more that we both could fuel at teh same time. I acknowledged and he moved his car within the limits his pump range and he gave me access to my pump. How courteous.
We exited our cars and began pumping fuel. I said, “Sir, I’ve not met a person with situational awareness in years. Thank you.”
He agreed and commented the world would be a much better place if we just looked around and helped other people.
Just to continue the light conversation with my new friend I asked, “What kind of milage do you get with your car?”
He said, “Fifty. But before you make any conclusions I must tell you I burn my trash at home.”
“Ahhh, we all make our carbon footprint somewhere,” I said.
We both smiled and wish each other a good day.
This actually happened.
Warm days.
Wheat harvest from winter.
Annual hot dog chili making.
Back in the water diving.
Always grilling.
My birthday month. 
The potato harvest.
