Good story, Patricia. I had a similar, daily reminder. Our offices were on North First St in San Jose, the real heart of Silicon Valley. Right outside my second story window was a field that would occassionally be planted so that the owner could get some income while waiting for the property values to get even higher. I would see the workers out there toiling in the sun, and suddenly would feel very fortunate for a lot of things. I believe if everyone took the time to count their blessings, they would whine less and be happier. Naive? Works for me.

I am a republican and I do the same as your husband. I admire the efforts of hard workers. If the democrats would do the same we might be able to really make a difference.

You do feel guilty Patricia, and you are full of it. You looked at some houses that are crappier than the fake mansions you and your husband want to (or do) live in and assumed that all the poor workers are miserable because they can't live in a big mortgage laiden piece of crap that you call a mansion. I'll bet that you didn't even talk to the people about how happy they were. Only assumed they wanted to be like you. hahahahaha. Get real. Oh, and I am really glad you are chipping in to their happiness by tipping better. Did it take seeing a cheaper house to get you to this level of generosity?
