Minnesota Nice

I was waiting for the bus home today in our Artic air and a woman in a car stopped and asked if she could give me a ride home. I didn't know her, but I got in. She said she was worried about me standing there in the cold. We chatted pleasantly on the way home. When we got to my building she wanted to be sure she got me as close to the door as possible so I wouldn't get cold. She said, "thank you for trusting me." Thank you, Tookie, for demonstrating again that Minnesota Nice is real.
