Toot

Tonight a buddy and I did a good deed. We didn't mean to but it just sort of happened. This post is not about the good deed or a humblebrag or any of that nonsense. Just a PSA to pay attention to your neighbors, they might need your help.

Out walking our dogs at night, cold, wet, foggy. Crossing a busy (for a neighborhood), intersection and we see a woman in her 70's-ish? slowly making her way across the intersection but something is not quite right. She is dressed warmly but her hands are shaking and she seems unsure of her footing.

We pause at the corner and she finally makes it to us. General greeting of "Good evening, how are you? Fine thank you." Something still not right. "Are you OK miss? Yes, yes, I'm fine." but the confidence feels off. The magic question that could blow up in our faces "Do you know where you are?" Long pause. "I'm not sure, I think I got turned around a bit. I just went for a walk." You can guess how the rest went.
