Lets use this thread to capture random acts of kindness that you witness while out in the world. It can be something little or it can be large. It can be something that you do or something that you observe.

First off, no I am not bragging, I am approaching 2,300 followers and probably will be there in a few days and my followers keep growing. While I think it's neat, I don't like all that attention and I would prefer a much more modest following, like just 100 followers.

This new airport is state of the art. It will be the largest all-glass airport in the United States, and one of the largest airports overall in the world. Just in time for the NCAA tournament and the NFL draft. Lots of cool local art installations and restaurants. I'm excited.
