I didn&#8217;t have cash on me and I wanted a dozen donuts (to ply my new business partners, of course) and a cup of coffee. The proprietor&#8217;s card machine was down, but instead of turning me away, he began to load the dozen donuts into a box for me. I fished in my purse for loose change and told him I was from out of town and didn&#8217;t know when I&#8217;d be able to get the remaining money to him. He was not concerned. &#8220;That&#8217;s OK,&#8221; he told me. &#8220;You&#8217;ll be back.&#8221; And I walked out of there with a box of warm donuts I had barely paid for. Talk about paying it forward. So I have been meaning to write about that and mail a check for decidedly more than the $4 or so I owe Scurlock&#8217;s. Just to say thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Because how often does that kind of thing happen these days?<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re ever down in Jackson and you get the chance, stop by and say hi. There are good people in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I meant to write about this, uh, a month and a half ago.
