My blood pressure has surely gone up lately from reading about all the ridiculous things going on in our government. My husband even threatened to take away the Internet because I was getting so irritable reading about how our taxes are going up bailing out all sorts of stupid behavior while our freedoms are being eroded.

But then I read this story, about the smart trick a caring fireman used to rescue a frightened autistic boy who escaped his first day of school by climbing out of a third-story window and refusing to come in off the ledge. Best thing I’ve read in weeks! And the photo of the boy and his rescuer is awesome.
