Karma Deposit
We're back home but not as planned. We were supposed to camp at Gonzaga Bay tonight but things changed in a NY minute.
About 10 miles south of Gonzaga, we drove up on a group of motorcycle riders. One of them took a spill at high speed on a sandy section. He was a
bloody mess and Mikayla, my daughter, was pretty upset by it. We took him to the medic at the military checkpoint in the village. He did his best to
clean up Hector but we all agreed that he needed to be hospitalized. We opted to take him to San Felipe a few hours north.
It was a tense drive but we made it. Hector was in and out of consciousness so they talked about moving him to a bigger hospital. He kept insisting on
giving me money but I refused....I said his misfortune provided me an opportunity to teach my kids about karma and doing a good deed without expecting
anything in return. I hope to hear about Hector's progress tomorrow. My thoughts go out to Hector and his family.
Otherwise a great trip....report and pics in a day or two.
Zac

Sounds like Hector is a lucky guy to have had you be the person driving by. Kids do get upset about blood, it can be scary. Positive thoughts for H.

Good on you Zac. What a great lesson in life for your daughter. This act of kindness shows her what your values are and what you would like her values
to be.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Well done, all 'round.

Great job, Zach.... I'm sure Mikayla will never forget this act of kindness and
it will have a profound positive influence on the rest of her life.
BTW you're a lucky man to have such adorable kids. I really enjoyed having them on Shari's whale watching trip this past Monday. Made my day......
Don\'t mess with the old dog...... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Brilliance only comes with age and

Twenty years from now you\'ll be more disappointed by the things you didn\'t do then the things you did.

And it's called paying it forward. Charity is acting as God's hands. Right place right time. Bravo!
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

We stopped by on Sunday but they were at a St. Patrick's Party at Alfonsina's. We had hoped to visit with them last night....ni modo.
And thanks everyone for the kind words. My son woke up today and reminded us all that "we help people out of the goodness of our hearts" to which I
smiled.
