Each bike is designed with the logo Nice Ride-the name of the citys bike-share program.Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike ,you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesotas largest city.

Theemployer has a very strict dressing code-dark blue shirts and pants. On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didnt have the right clothes the next day. He explained, Sir, I had beentold about this, but because of my larger size, its sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford. Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldnt lose the chance of work simply because he couldnt afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed. When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes, he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and ashirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man. The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldnt accept such a gift from a stranger.Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldnt return them-a little whitelie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job. My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didnt have enough to buy the clothes, he told Robert.

My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home form from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted to let him know that we cared too, even when we werent with him.Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents home, after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in the cereal(麦片) box, under a hairbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven. For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love.So as I tidied Dads kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were practical, “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldnt go bad.” Some expressed my love, “Dad, I hope you will sheep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!” Just like his medicines strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” would improve his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, “Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”26.
