Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity

Hera is home with a clean bill of health!
Above link is a pic each of the 3 kittens – just back from a check-up and a bit scraggly. Hera definitely needs a bath!
We found out that Posiedon has very mild hydrocephalus, which is certainly interesting, given his name!
In a twist of Brisbane-ness, the lady who gave us a lift happened to be at the vet, too! She’s been invited to visit any time.
I’m an average looking dude. Yesterday like an 80 year old woman turned around in the grocery check out line and told me I had very handsome hair. Made my day.
My wife and I were travelling in Tokyo and we were looking for a good non-smoking restaurant (a lot of them still allow smoking unfortunately) in the neighborhood we were staying. Most restaurants in that neighborhood were only advertised with discrete Japanese signs. We are white Europeans and looked obviously like tourists.
This Japanese guy comes out of nowhere, asking if he could help us, so we tell him what we are looking for. Turns out that guy had been working in Germany for a few years, so he could speak English fairly well. He helped us find a traditional, upscale restaurant only visited by locals, hidden on the 8th storey of a skyscraper that we would never have found in a lifetime.
The best part is that he obviously liked to chat with us, it reminded him of his life in Europe., and asked if he could join. We gladly accepted, and he helped us with how to behave and take our order. It turns out that guy was a high-level consultant for an accounting organization, and he insisted on paying the bill, so we got to eat in a very high-end restaurant that no tourist would have ever found, and didn’t even pay for it!
