So I'm preparing to do the upstairs flooring. My back is healing up nicely, and I need to get it done before something else fucks me up.
So we've ordered the flooring (bamboo from Home Depot) and the under-layment. The under-layment was supposed to be delivered today.
Imagine my surprise when I got an email saying, "Your product has been delivered!" and I have no product.
Just as I'm on my laptop trying to figure out what the hell was going on, there's a ring of the doorbell. I open the door to see an entire family standing there. The man said something I couldn't understand. (For the record, I'm a bit hard of hearing.)
After a couple seconds, I figured out he was asking for me by name. Long story short, he was there to inform me there were a bunch of things at his house down the street that had my name on it, that he didn't understand why they were left there, so he came to find me.
They're from Tanzania. Family of 6. Man, wife, three children (2 boys and a girl) and a grandma.
I drove down to their house and they helped me load it all up. Turns out my wife had ordered a new Shark as well and it was there too!
That was $1,600.00 worth of merchandise they tracked me down to make sure I got.
Needless to say, that's not going thankless. I've invited them all over for a hamburgers and hotdogs cookout tomorrow.
They said yes.
Fuck Trump. Fuck racist.
This is the kind of thing that truly does make America great: helping each other out the best we can.
