Random Love (anti-rants)

I had an amazing thing happen to me today: Me and a friend were out riding the local trails and when we stopped for a coffee I notice the small bag containing my iphone, credit card and driver's license had fallen out of my backpack's pocket - I had accidentally left it partly unzippered and took a couple of spills that caused the bag to fall out at ome point.
Anyway, called the cc company immediately (with my friend's phone)and blocked the card. A half hour later my wife called my friend and said a guy had called my dad's wife (my father has the same first name as me) and had asked if my dad was missing his stuff. Got the guys number and met up with him and got my stuff back, he was just a five minute ride away from where I was at the time. The guy's dog had come carrying the bag and that's how it ended up with him, and he had gone through a lot of trouble to get a hold of me. Didn't have any cash on me at the moment to give to him as a reward, and when I asked him for his bank account number so I can thank him for his honesty and help he said he didn't want any money - what he wanted was that I pay a good deed forward when the opportunity comes.
What an amazing human being he was. The world needs more people like him.

Paula and I have just spent the most remarkable and uplifting 6 days in Switzerland with The VMC Crew and the Los Pinguinos Gang.
Paying for anything became a major act of subterfuge, foot stamping and threats never to visit again.
We have never met such generous people, let alone be privileged enough to spend so much time with them.
Roger, Brigitte, Fredy, Damaris, Daniel, Massimo, Chris and Chris - we love you.
Thank you.

Just bought a dishwasher (finally)… Compact model as the cupboard doesn't fit a regular model... Delivery on Saturday... No more doing the dishes...
Plus, because it has some scratches on the top, there was a 110 € discount, same warranty service provided of course... It'll be placed inside the cupboard so I won't even see the "damage"...

I've had a self-imposed exile from this forum. The last couple of weeks I've been looking at it again in a more positive light.
There are some beautiful people amongst all this, and i know that there a few particularly dedicated ones who work hard to keep it all on track.
Keep it fun, keep it light.
