Free Hugs! Pass 'Em On

Yesterday, strolling down 10th Ave in glorious springy Portland weather, a nice, normal-looking young woman stepped off the streetcar carrying a GIGANTIC orange balloon with the words "FREE HUGS" sharpied onto it. I watched one person grinningly duck away from Balloon Girl before she turned toward me. I stretched my arms as widely as they would reach and hugged for dear life. Neither of us said a word; our smiles said it all.

Consider Yourselves hugged, and pass it on.
