Thank You Nick

There exists a chasm in the compassion of human beings. A distance between the way we should treat others and the way most people actually do. Much like in autism, it’s a spectrum. But it’s always nice when you meet someone who understands the simplicity of a request to joy ride elevators. Most are curious. Some are annoyed. Others will just refuse to break protocol. Those are the personalities we meet most often. That’s why it is eternally nice to meet someone like the head of security for the government office in Portland, – Nick. Nick understood the situation and Matthew’s little idiosyncrasies, and took us on a private tour of the antique elevator in the downtown city building.

The elevator was constructed in the 1930’s and has been renovated more than once. Even the back stairway maintains the wonderful look of the original era. I decided to take a quick Photo of Nick so we could say Thank You for taking the extra time out of your day for the private tour. Matthew and I truly appreciate it.
