Mr. Rogers said, “There are three ways to ultimate success. The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.”

That quote was going around in my head while waiting for my flight in a small-town airport that was suffering from a power outage. Lacking light for reading and not wanting to use my valuable phone battery, I observed the people around me. Everyone was being nice. People were allowing others to cut in line ahead of them. I assume the reason was that we were all in the same boat. The situation was an act of nature. None of us were to blame, so it seemed no one was doing any blaming. Things had to be done differently than they are at an airport with power.
