Stop and offer a ride

This morning, I was driving towards the center of town over the RR bridge and noticed an old man--hunched over and with a cane--walking on the sidewalk.  We all know the condition of our sidewalks after snow storms.

I passed him wondering how long he had to walk but making excuses as to why I shouldn't stop and offer to help.  However, the better half of me gave me pause and I made a u-turn and offered him a ride which he quickly accepted.  It turns out that he has a significant walk home (~1/2 mile).

This isn't the first time that I've noticed this person walking this particular route.  So, I'd like to suggest that we all look out for him or anyone else in a similar situation and offer that ride!
