Oh, I took it in basic and advanced.  Loved that class.

Now that's a bit werd to me.  Oh well.  I guess it works.

Now that's just rude.  Yeah, we had a few parents with low income looking about
for candy for themselves, with toddler in tow or stroller, but they were rare
and not at all rude.  Nor were they collecting mega baskets.

Like one i know.  Her name is Jill.  Her husband died while drunk driving on
duty and the insurance (company stuff) isnt paying her anything.  They had no
other insurance but she has a 9month old.  Marna and I were going by while she 
was debating with herself and talked her into going out with us to see the 
sights.  Others who know her circumstances were waving her over for a little 
chat and quietly dropped candy in a bag she discretely had.

Random acts of kindness are real normal where I live <g>.  Somehow, no matter
where I go?

Possibly not many. Hard to tell!

It was.  So was the chainsaw bit with one of the guys dressed up as 'Michael
Myers'.
