A Happy News Item, For Once

Apparently it's feast or famine over here at Misadventures...

TLS and I heard a piece on the radio this morning about a pediatric oncology patient who had his portable game player and games stolen from the family's car during a stop on their way to the hospital for his monthly chemotherapy appointment. They reported the burglary to police but didn't expect much to come from it. You know, what with big city apathy and all that. Well, it turns out that officers from the Dallas Police Department donated $1,200 to replace the belongings and have the car window repaired (with about $850 given to the family for anything else they might need). How's that for a feel-good story?
