Summer Vacation

I've logged more than 2,000 miles on the Saturn, flew from NJ to NV, seen friends and family, and tanned in the Vegas sun and then some.
Life moves really fast. So much so, I need a rest from my vacation. Really. Loved reading the Washington Post, Philly soft pretzels, the look of D.C., VEGAS, the theater in Stratford, Ontario, traffic.
But, it was worth it. I was reminded of the world outside of a small town in mid-Michigan, a more global view. Some people are kind, others are just mean, and some are capable of so much damage.
I traveled with my mom (84) for awhile. We used a wheelchair so she could get around with ease. You would not believe how many people: used the handicapped restroom when they were handi-able, walked in front of the wheels without giving way, used handicap ramps for places to rest, thus blocking access, did not bother to hold doors open, would not give way on handicap corner cuts in the sidewalk...what is wrong with people?
On the plus side, young boys, ages 5-10, were the most kind - holding doors, smiling at mom. There is hope.
