...want to be treated like a regular customer, you have to be a regular customer. If you like a restaurant, cultivate a waiter. Don't use your cell phone when the waiter is talking to you. If you get bad service, you should still leave a tip. It's not only for the waiter. When you stiff the waiter, you also punish people who may have had nothing to do with your having a bad experience. Instead, I would write a letter - a real letter, not an e-mail - to the manager. When they see that, they're going...
...stiff up-front cost has always been the biggest barrier to residential use of solar power.

The next morning, when his shift ended, the guard returned and retightened the ropes, never saying a word...
...This guard was my Good Samaritan. I will never forget that fellow Christian, and I will never forget that moment. I will always remember as well the Christmas services that my fellow prisoners and I held in a cell, when I gave thanks to God for the blessings he had granted me with the company of men I had come to admire and love...
