What happened to Kindness

On my way to work this morning, there was a little terrier who sat in the middle of the road, literally.
So I turned on my emergency lights, pulled aside grabbed the leash and blanket in my car.
Traffic had stopped on all 4 lanes as this scared barely 1 foot tall puppy ran from lane to lane.
3 other drivers tried to help but the little fellow dodged all our attempts.

Finally it ran between a few houses and got off the main road.
*phew a sigh of relief.

The disappointment was the number of finger salutes the rescuers received from other drivers honking and yelling from their vehicles.

I apologize if you are late for something, but do not insult someone who is trying to save a life.
Thus the question: what happened to kindness?

HOORAY FOR ALL THE GIRLS

If only I was able, healthier and able to serve. *sigh ... I got OLD!
Why? Because now there are no limits to whose butt any girl can kick!

So for all those who laughed at a girl or to be specific, an American Girl, be careful .....
For she may be the toughest Marine who has more Honor than you can spell. 

Also she probably .... 
*can run a tank over you
*put you in a head lock before you can blink
*destroy the really bad guys with a push of a button from 10,000 ft
*commands a lot of guys in operations you cannot know about.
*is watching targets through the cross-hairs of a sniper rifle
*is the baddest girl on the block
*is the Marshall at the July 4th Parade
*received the Purple Heart
*received the Silver Star 
*may be the one who will put you over her shoulders to get you to safety
*is a daughter or a mother or a sister who is a soldier.
