Sunset, best parking lot ever and neighborly

- That's the sunset behind a partial skyline of Atlanta there - way in the background (click to enlarge.)  After a long day, I was loading a few food items into my car after shopping at Whole Foods.  A young man who was returning to the store after helping someone out with groceries pointed out the sunset to me.  "Isn't that a beautiful sunset?  Look at that."  I was taking it for granted.  It was beautiful.

- And then he pointed out the moon, saying, "And did you see the moon?  This is the best parking lot ever!"  I think so, too.  

- The day had started out with bang.  I had a flat tire about a half mile from my home and was able to pull into a convenience store parking lot.  Roadside assistance was slow coming (but a cheerful man arrived 1.5 hours later - allowing me time to clean out the car's trunk.)  A neighbor came by to get convenience food and walked over.  We are nodding acquaintances - I see him out walking his dog. "You're my neighbor, right?  Do you need help?"  I told him help was on the way and thanked him.  He said he would help anyone, but especially a neighbor.  How nice.  

I'm off to get two new tires this morning, thankful I had a good spare tire in the trunk and that the flat came just before I got on the expressway.  And cleaning out the trunk while waiting revealed two Santa hats that had gone missing, a tumbler from the church kitchen, and a book I borrowed ten years ago (don't ever loan me books.)  I'm having dinner with the book's owner tonight.  Full circle.  Have a great weekend, friends!

Peace, comfort and out of Os
