 True?   (from Joplin, MO)   

Monday at the shelter I saw a young man eating who was obviously upset and weeping. I went over and talked to him in an effort to comfort him. In the course of conversation I asked what he had lost. His answer was …terrific. He said, "I have lost any selfishness that I had before. I have seen destruction and good people giving of themselves to help those who were hurt. I will never be the same as before

 You have doubts?  This is alligator habitat, nice cool lagoon, warm bank for sunbathing.   One warm Sunday afternoon during a Thanksgiving week, there was a, say, 5 foot, sunbather.   Problem: blind curves on the bike path.  Thanks be to other cyclists and walkers who warned this biker.
