The quality of our morning was improved today by the passing motorist who honked to let us know one of the tires on the pick-up was going flat and by the employee at the Durham landfill who let us use their airhose to fill it back up. I'm not going to get all sappy and say something stupid about how this restores my faith in humanity. This is, after all, still a world in which not only do Dick Cheney and Kim Jong Il exist but wield power. But it was a nice reminder that, yes, there are still plenty of nice people out there.
