    Good morning! Yesterday, I didn’t really do anything, so I just chilled out. No work to do, no class either, so it was me, my dice, and my laptop. For a while at least.

    I decided to check how much gas was in the car, and it was lookin a little low, so I went out to the gas station. After I filled up, the car had a warning show up on it about the engine stalling and getting too hot. I went out and opened the hood to check, and an old guy came up to me while I was doing that. I told him what was wrong, he had a look around the vehicle, and he said “t’s outta orange, go cross the street and you can get you some.”

    Apparently by “orange” he meant antifreeze, and matter of fact the only one wal-mart had, Rain-X, was orange, so that’s that. Bought some, filled it in, and the temperature went to where it was supposed to be.

    I thought it was a really kind gesture from a stranger. I was grateful for the quick, free, and accurate help he gave, and of course thanked him before I took off. The kindness of a stranger… I’m touched, honestly. Made me think of how I can return that kind of favor to the world, helping another stranger out some day.
