Did you marry her (or him)?

Nope. :-)

Actually it was in a little coffee shop in Oakland. I was waiting for a nearby store to open so I could buy a slide rule. This was an older lady who was being run ragged by a pack of young punks. After they left, I left her a 50$ tip hoping to brighten her day just a little. (It did :-))

Good for you!

If we can't use money to make others and indirectly ourselves feel good, then what is the point?

LOL! Very nerdy and at the same time very cool.
