I'm in Indy on a secret mission. I really would have to kill you if I told why I'm here -- ha ha. Seriously, if I told you, you would say, "oh," and then move to a subject that would interest you. I brought Kedra along with me, and we are staying in the Omni. It's very nice. The picture above is from our 9th floor window, looking south.
It's such a beautiful evening. We went to a movie and then walked some around downtown. Indy is really a neat place. After my meetings tomorrow I will meet up with Kedra, and we will be joined by Lester and Maddie. We'll have a nice meal together, and then I am hoping we can do a horse and carriage ride.
After our movie we stopped in Steak N Shake for a light snack. We spent $9.01. While we were eating, a guy in a wheel chair came in. He was moving painfully slowly. We had seen him earlier. When we were looking at the Circle Center movie theatre sign, trying to figure out how to get to it, he gently spoke and said, "go up the escalators."
He came in Steak N Shake to use the restroom. As he got close he asked a young boy who was sitting near the door to open it for him. The boy seemed a little uncertain but consented to help. About that time a really rough looking guy saw the situation and showed surprising (to me anyway - the one who was judging by appearance) concern and compassion. He asked the man in the chair if it was OK to push him. It was, so this rough looking character demonstrated simple kindness to a fellow traveler through life, and he showed me to be careful about drawing conclusions based on appearances.
