A little faith in humanity is restored

Several people on our street have collaborated to put together a little fund to help out some hard-working neighbors who suffered substantial property loss due to arson -- not in any way related to the other event I just posted about, other than philosophically. We have a nice gift ready to take over to them. This reminds me that there are a lot of good people in the world, and I'm lucky to have several of them as neighbors. It takes away a little bit of the sting of how thoughtless some very troubled people can be.

Thanks, neighbors!
