the best of us and the worst of us.

Extreme times bring out both. I just happened to run across these on twitter within a single minute.




My son overheard an elderly man, not looking the healthiest also wearing a mask, ask a man to kindly cover his cough. The man stepped closer, coughed again as he yelled " MAGA"...





Yesterday, my neighbour left me some homeade soup to pick up from outside; while I am recovering from a mild case of COVID. When I got there, I found not only a big container of piping hot soup, but two huge bags of shopping. I almost burst into tears. She barely knows me.

A new person moved in next door to me last Fall. She has made our entire block smile at one time or another.

I'm happy to say I haven't run into the elevator guy yet.
