Cooler than cool, Pat. Doesn't get better than one's daughter thinking her daddy is cooler than Lady Antebellum.

That's awesome... one point about the Random Acts of Kindness is that biochemically and neurologically in our brains doing such an act or kind thing provides the same signals as rolling in cash.
So, basically you stimulate the same receptor and activate the same areas in the brain if you won the lottery that if you pay the toll for the car behind you smile.. so it's easy to feel like you've won a million dollars...

For sure.

Come on, pull the other one!

You aren't suckering me into thinking that chocolate dipped bacon or fried Snickers are real foods -- not even a donut-munching cop would eat things like that! wink grin

Seriously Pat, thanks for sharing the story with us.

Chocolate dipped bacon...maybe.

Fried Snickers...all day long. I've never had one but I'd be the first to volunteer at a party.

After three hours of wandering around the exhibitors booths, livestock, pig races, birthing pens, eating chocolate dipped bacon and fryed Snickers we were ready to sit down.

When they opened the gates to Reliant Stadium we headed to the "nosebleed" section, on the 6th floor, which were the only tickets I could get for the sold out event.

As soon as we sat down, we were approached by a group of people, including a cameraman. They explained that every night 10 people are selected for a "Randon Act of Kindness", sponsered by various corporations, in this case, Caterpillar Inc. They escorted use to floor level, right behind the chutes, where we were given VIP seating and access.

Thanks Caterpillar!

How COOL is that? smile



that is spectacular, Pat. this is the first year in a while I haven't managed to make some excuse to be in Houston during the rodeo.
