A Nice Stranger

We were in the dollar store the other day looking for something specific we needed and a guy was at the counter asking if the Chinese lanterns were illegal here. He was from Indiana and brought down a bunch for a party and was buying a lighter for them - one of those long ones you use for candles or the grill.

Rich helped him out and was chatting with him so when we got ready to leave we held the door for him and he rushed by us without a word. I thought, that's not too friendly. However, it seems he was rushing to his car because he stopped us when we were fixing to leave (driving by) in order to give us one of his Chinese lanterns.

See? You never can tell about someone and first impressions can be so wrong.
