Rebirth of Common Courtesy

Ok, so it is not exactly reborn, but maybe rediscovered, unearthed, relocated.

It is nice to be in a place where people do say please and thank you, where they always look you in the eye, where people go out of there way to be polite and courteous. It is nice to be in a place where horns don't get honked, tires don't screech, and patience is a virtue possessed by many.

I really had begun to believe that common courtesy was gone, which is why I wrote the piece "The Death of Common Courtesy," but apparently my declaration of the death of common courtesy was greatly exaggerated, to poorly paraphrase a mildly famous quote.

What a treat to be in a place where common courtesy is so common.

Thank you again for getting this far with me.
