Someone asked me for directions! Yay!
I was riding home from a record-speed shopping stop today and a nicely dressed older woman stopped me to ask where the nearest Picard (French frozen foods store) was. After barely containing my excitement about being asked for directions by a (possibly senile?) native French speaking person in the first place, I apologized that I wasn't sure, wished her a fine day, and pedaled ahead. Sure enough, less than a minute later I spotted the Picard. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity to help someone in need (it's a very rare role reversal these days...). So, I pulled a uey to let her know that it wasn't much further up ahead on her right. Nothing like a French Milestone and a good deed all rolled into one to make today a great day!
