It couldn't be easier.

It happened right in front of me and was simply much too easy or, maybe, easily much too simple to be considered a gift. I was walking back to the office from a quick lunch this afternoon with a thunderstorm breezing through downtown Louisville, KY. A little ways ahead of me and going in the same direction as I was a gentlemen caught in the wind and rain without an umbrella. He was carring a fairly good size load of folders in his arm. He was running across the intersection presumably to beat the light that was about to change but I think getting out of the rain might have been uppermost on his mind. As you might have already guessed, he made it as the light changed but some of his papers he was carrying didn't. The funny thing is that they blew back toward me standing on the same curb he just sprinted from a few moments before. It didn't take much of an effort to pick these papers up and return them to their owner. A receipt that landed in a puddle in the middle of the street is where we met up and made the exchange, shared a laugh and a handshake. Ken Schulz
