Sometimes things work out. Sometimes they don't -
1) The rain screamed sideways on the Yolo Causeway, yet the evening traffic continued to roar over it unhindered. A woman with two little kids in her car was trying to change her flat tire. She couldn't get the wheel off. Her ass was hanging inches from the traffic. It sucked to be her.
I pulled over to help. Asked her to get back in the car so she wouldn't get too wet. I changed the tire.
When it was done, I was soaking wet and covered with grime. The woman and her little kids were able to get out of a dangerous situation, and the woman didn't get all wet and nasty. It was a good thing.

2) My friend befriended an immigrant family from Iran. She helped them in many ways. One day she told me that one of the kids in the family loved to ride his friend's skateboard, and that she intended to buy him one.
I told her not to. I bought the most badass skateboard in the local skate shop, and gave it to her as a gift to him. He broke his arm skating.
