JUST a few months ago Dustin, a relative of mine burgalized my mother's house while she was in a Psychiatric Clinic, and stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of glass, crystal, and clay beads. I've been working on getting some legal evidence against him, (he doesn't even deny it over the phone). The police won't do anything until we get some proof that it was him (we absolutely know it was him). It's because of people like him that babies die and kittens get mauled by bears (to put it in nicer language than I could...).
There are some people who are nice though. Just today, during a visit with my mom (two hours every two weeks, I don't live with her), we went to the Juan de Fuca fair, and bough one elephant ear, half of it Cinnamon, the other half with strawberries and whipped cream. We were in a hurry, because the two hours were almost up, and the visits are supervised. After five minutes the cook (a womain in her late 50's, gray hair, looked a bit native), brought up to ears and gave them to us. At first, I thought she had misheard our order, but she simply said "I miss my boys too", and gave them to us for free!
It was one of the most thoughtful things I have seen somebody do. If only we had more people like that in the world. φ
