Restoring faith in humanity: the official thread

[CrimsonJazz]

To state the obvious, most of the topics and details being discussed here don't exactly promote positive emotions. That is how political discussion goes. So, for those needing a break from the "measuring contests", let's share some things that make us all smile. I'll get it started.

NEW: New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and some of his teammates dress up in Halloween costumes to visit children in the hospital.

Dart was seen connecting with a five-year-old boy, Giuseppe Maneiro, who is battling leukemia.

"Thank you so much Tackle Kids Cancer and the New York Giants for making Giuseppe’s day! He had the best time trick-or-treating with everyone," the boy's family posted.

The players reportedly spent hours chatting and hanging out with the kids.

God bless them.

Go to an Army Navy game and get there early enough to see the parade of cadets and midshipmen marching into the stadium. Best viewing is outside the stadium along the route so you can get close enough to see their faces.

I promise it’ll renew your faith in youth, which is along the lines of the OP.

Here in the heartland, I always smile this time of year when I'm driving in the country and I see combines harvesting corn. Many times, I'm on the interstate after dark and I see them lit up with those big spotlights, working into the night.

This is easily my favorite time of the year. We finally have some real football weather and I can take my flannel out of storage. When it's comfortable enough to build a fire after sundown and pour an adult beverage, life is just damned good.
