    Wonderful Story. I missed it the first time too. How wonderful would this world be, if only everyone took care of a stranger - like they were a brother or sister...? So nice of you.

    Eh, good home training, as they say. I can credit my grandfather for teaching me that no random act of kindness is ever a waste of time, and my father, for telling me a long, long time ago that it's never wrong to do the right thing. That may be one of the few positive lessons I ever learned from him, but it's a good one.

    I think most people would have done the same thing. I mean, honestly, if you came across some starving, hot people who'd just cycled 60 miles through central Texas, and you had a cooler full of fresh, cold, juicy nectarines, wouldn't you hand them over? Of course you would. It's just the right thing to do.

    if they were riding out of kerrville, and going up the hill, they were very close to medina downhill from them and home of absolutely stupendous apple pie and hog trap capital of Texas.

    Road angels like you and the truckers are special people and you will be remembered in stories they tell their children.
