Default feels good being nice!

i posted this in the O.T. section as well. It was such a nice weather in bay area Cali. I decided to take my vette for a cruise in San Francisco. On my way to the city i noticed a electron blue vette cruising behind me, when i reached the bay bridge toll i noticed this vette was still behind me so i decided to pay for his toll aswell . he then drove up next to me and waved hi with a big smile on his face

p.s. if you are from this forum your welcome

Being nice does feel good, but couldnt that story have ended with the driver of the EB being a female of the blond persuasion and she waved at you to follow her home and....well you know the rest!!!!

Default When your 60 years Old it doesn't feel good

I spent about 45 minutes snow blowing the 15 inches of snow off my driveway and walks... I then spent 2 hrs and fifteen minutes doing a few of my neighbors. I am old and sore an miserable.. well Not really miserable.. Far be it from me to even remotely act miserable..
