My license split in half, I was in and out of the Colorado Drivers License facility in less than 10 mins. They did not charge me for a replacement.
Holly shit I must have woken up in some new dimension.

Got the truck tires rotated, somehow the shop lost one of the center caps. They offered to buy me a new one, I called Tire Rack (where I bought the wheels) to see how much it was, they're sending me one free, they're even picking up the shipping. FKNA. Did not expect that.

Doctor with a big heart is 2018 CNN Hero of the Year
(CNN)For Dr. Ricardo Pun-Chong, being a physician isn't just about treating patients -- it's about how you care for their families.
As a doctor undergoing his medical training in Lima, Peru, Pun-Chong treated many children who traveled with their parents from rural parts of the country. And for most, it's a dangerous journey -- over mountains, across rivers and along unsafe roads, all for medical treatment.
Once in Lima, far from home and often unable to afford lengthy hotel stays, Pun-Chong saw many families forced to curl up on the hospital floors.
"I couldn't get the picture of the families sleeping on the floor out of my mind," Pun-Chong told CNN earlier this year. "So, I decided to do something for them."
On Sunday night, Pun-Chong was named the 2018 CNN Hero of the Year for his efforts to provide free housing, meals and support for sick children and their families while they undergo treatment. The award is determined by online voters who selected Pun-Chong from among the Top 10 CNN Heroes finalists.
In 2008, he founded a shelter and a nonprofit called Inspira and to date, his organization has helped more than 800 families. The shelter was designed to make the children feel at home and to provide a space for kids to "be kids."
Here's how the rest of the top 10 CNN Heroes are changing lives in their communities:
Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin, a computer programmer in Lagos, Nigeria, teaches impoverished women in the city's slums how to code through a program run by the Pearls Africa Foundation.
Maria Rose Belding launched MEANS, a platform that reduces food waste by connecting restaurants and businesses with extra food to charities that feed the hungry.
After she was paralyzed in a ski accident, Amanda Boxtel started Bridging Bionics -- a nonprofit that provides high-tech physical therapy to people with mobility impairments near Aspen, Colorado.
Dr. Rob Gore, an emergency physician in Brooklyn, New York, founded the Kings Against Violence Initiative, which leads anti-violence programs in his community.
Luke Mickelson quit his high-paying job to found Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Susan Munsey escaped from a life of sex trafficking and in 2009 started GenerateHope, a group that provides housing, therapy and more to survivors of sex trafficking.
At age 87, Florence Phillips still leads her nonprofit -- ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada -- which provides free English, computer and GED classes to immigrants.
Ellen Stackable is a former English teacher who founded Poetic Justice, a nonprofit that teaches creative writing to incarcerated women in Oklahoma.
Former US Army Corporal Chris Stout started the Veterans Community Project, which connects homeless veterans with housing and other essential services.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

The guy trading in his $10k mountain bike for donation for five $2k bikes is impressive. Unimpressive is saying the kids "volunteered" 50 hours of work on the trails. $2000/50=$40 hour tax free--for a kid. Who knew volunteering was so rewarding I especially like Mandy citing them for their effort.
Begs the question--were there no other kids in this town that wanted to "volunteer" or were these lucky five winners of a lottery?
