OT - Fall Fair Parade

I just came back (about an hour ago) from watching the parade for our town's
fall fair. It was pleasant enough, as it usually is. However, in the
parade this time around there were two school buses with a sign on the front
of each of them reading "FILL THE BUS FOR HURRICANE KATRINA". The front bus
was collecting donations of money, and the second bus was collecting bags of
used clothing, etc to send along to the displaced people. I was very
touched and proud that my town was doing such a nice thing, aside from the
normal collection banks set up in the coffee shops, etc. Just wanted to
share this with you. )

Peace!

surrounded by people.
