The fact that it was the same amount is so crazy. Who knows what kind of butterfly effect you could have set off with this act of kindness and generosity?!? Also a 1500 calorie workout? WTF are you doing uphill lunge laps while simultaneously swinging a kettle bell and jumping over 7 foot plyo boxes? 😆 Respect.

Ok, this is kind of wild, I read half the article earlier, then had to do things like go get tires that weren’t covered by warranty, debate buying a 2008 car that is a good deal at $4,000 , yet realized I can’t manage another thing, and run to the grocery store to exchange pasta my son went to cook and was moldy before ifs due date of 5/31, and I don’t usually return but life is expensive! Basically I was trying to save his money and he felt it was wrong. While in line at Trader Joe’s I heard someone say I have $20 and I’ll come back so I said it’s ok I’ll pay. Maybe I should have realized it wasn’t just one thing, it was $44, but I hope someone does the same for my kid or someone else in need. Then I finished your article and it felt like the universe was talking to me.

In lean times, just being at the grocery store can be demoralizing. Counting every penny and every ounce of food while others have full carts feels icky in its own way. I think that's part of the reason we want to help when we see an opportunity. Hooray for recognizing those moments and embracing them!

A vaguely related comment: (Food theme)... I wonder if you are aware of Max Miller and his YouTube channel Tasting History. I don't know if you like cooking shows or history, but I suggest checking it out. He is charming and funny. His pandemic hobby turned into a career pivot.

Also, he's gay and adorable. (And married.)
