I was surfing around this early morning as my virtual image was taking yonks to boot up and i came across this post over at Nigel Watson's Blog.
What I liked about this post is that it shows an almost uncommon compassionate behavior. Nigel was out driving (from point A to B) and came across a roo lying in the bend of a road. Deciding that having it there, at a point on the road where the speed limit was 100kph, could prove disastrous to other drivers, he turns around and proceeds with moving it off the road.
He then notices that "Mom" still has a little Joey in her pouch (Joey is what baby kangaroos are called). They then pick the Joey out and wrap it nicely in a blanket and calls http://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/ as soon as they arrive at their destination.
What a very, very nice gesture and it almost makes me ashamed to say that I honestly haven't done something like this, even when I've passed a roo lying on the road.
Food for thought - I'm vowing now to always check if i should happen to come across a roo. More people should honestly think like this, me amongst those for sure.
Well done Nigel - showing that us geeks can be compassionate as well even when it doesn't include the latest gadget!
Here's some pics I "borrowed" from Nigel's blog.
