Maybe it could only happen here...but we all wish it would happen ...Sept 30?,2017

So I'm in the store today, rushing right before frisbee.  I came in to buy beer for frisbee...well for after frisbee.  A case of miller lite warm because there were no can beers cold, and a six pack of some Hawaiin lager cold gets sat up on the counter.  Some lady I have seen around, and waved to while on my bike, because, here, you wave to everyone, is in front of me finishing up her transaction and purchase.  I don't remember what she bought, but as she was packing up her wallet, and the cash register lady scanned my first item, and I was padding my pockets down for my wallet.....I realized I didn't have my wallet, and immediately told the checkout lady.  "Well, nevermind, I forgot my wallet"

So, as only would happen here, the lady, who I've only seen around, says "Oh do you need some money?" and then gives me $40 after seeing how much it was for the $33 worth of beer....I did hesitate at first, then got a big smile on the inside knowing that normally, even on Kwaj, I would reject her offer.  This is the way things should be though.  People should be going out of there way to be nice to each other..............AND people should accept the awesomeness of THAT gesture, and go out of there way to pay it back.....
