Yesterday, Izzy and I were out for our late afternoon walk  in our neighborhood.

Like many residential areas, over the years I have watched as the local streets have become busier and often, despite the Council’s efforts at introducing traffic calming measures, cars race through intersections to trim a second or two off their commuting times on the main road.

So I’d like to thank the man in the little red car.  Izzy and I were waiting to Cross the street, since you had the right-of-way.

Instead, you stopped and let us cross.

Thank you for your small act of kindness; it really made our day!
