Do a good turn daily

The other day, after helping a nice old lady cross the street I was on my way over to rescue a poor, helpless stranded kitten out of a tree when I spotted a plastic wrappedobject in the ditch about the size of a small loaf of bread wrapped in bubble wrap. I picked it up and it turned out to be a brand new paper bill accepter mechanism for a vending machine.


It looked like it had fallen out of a truck as it was turning the corner or something. The bubble wrap was succesful in its objective by preventing the part from not getting anything worse than a slight scuff on one of the corners. I found a manufacturer's phone number on the side and called it. I gave them the serial number and they tracked it to the Pepsi distribution center about a 1/2 mile from my house.

So Friday I took it over to them. The receptionist had no clue what to do so she called a guy in from the warehouse. a kind of grisly older guy came out, grabbed the thing and said, "Come on back here..."
So I did. I followed him through some doors into a warehouse filled to the brim with more bottles of soda than I had ever seen before in my life! You could say they had a "plethora"
of Pepsi products!

"I guess I owe you a drink for bringing that back to us, don't I?" he said.

I wasn't expecting anything in return but, ok. As we started heading toward where a vending machine was over in the corner, he uttered an, 'aw heck' and then a made a right turn down a towering aisle of Country Time or something. He called to another guy farther down and said "Hey! Grab me a case of pepsi and bring it to this kid here!" Whoa. They even loaded it into my car for me and told me to enjoy it and gave a great day!

Now I've got a fridge full of soda pop that I (used to) rarely drink. I'd offer some to y'all but you're kind of far away, sorry.
