We spent the late afternoon and early evening with friends at the lake near our house tonight, trying to escape the heat and avoid having to cook. The water took care of the heat and pizza delivered to us lakeside eliminated the need to make dinner. One of the life guards commented that the pizza looked good and asked from which place we ordered, as apparently several will deliver to the beach. While cleaning up we began walking right past him to throw our trash away, which included a couple leftover pieces of pizza. I realized that perhaps he was hinting something when he commented how good the food looked. It suddenly seemed rude and wasteful to continue on to the garbage can. We offered him, along with another lifeguard who had joined him in the chair, the leftovers. They responded yes happily and quickly.
As we walked by them to leave, they thanked us again and said that we had made their day.
