Today is your day Boomer! I don't want to make a huge deal over this small act of kindness, but it is worth writing about. A "good samaritan" is someone who does a good deed for somebody, especially a stranger. The "strangers", in this case, were a momma duck and 13 babies crossing a very busy highway in Pitt Meadows in BC's Lower Mainland. The unidentified woman stopped her car and performed like a traffic cop for a few moments making sure the busy commuters didn't run over the duck family. One onlooker said "the ducks...after some hesitations – and a slight detour around the car to her right – made it safely across the busy road. It was very sweet to see – we are all in such a hurry these days, it was nice to see everyone stop and let them pass – not one horn honked!" Boomers, this type of personality trait is one I especially value! It is humanity defined, in my opinion, and is a welcome break from war, COVID protests, random violence, and racist attacks we see in the news every day. It should be a bigger media focus and not relegated to the back pages. This woman is also a good role model for Boomers who should be doing their part to preserve the natural aspects of our planet. Cheers!
