What sheer pleasure seeing people sharing and working together. Hope it becomes a habit.

    Now this in the resiliency of the human spirit that we all enjoy! Clever and ingenious way to share in the currency of the times-- the electric power charge! I would suspect you might see these popping up at airports nationwide!! Exercise your Turkey dinner off and charge your iPad at the same time!

      This is restoring my faith in humanity. This is how we should be: Working together and helping one another.
