Random Act of Kindness

While scraping off the ice on my windows this morning (VJ, are you surprised?), I noticed a neighbor doing the same. Except, he wasn't using a scraper but a jug of luke warm water. By simply pouring the water over the windshield, the ice melted away. Amused, I called out to him, "That's cheating!" He looked up and smiled, commented back that the water can't be too hot otherwise the glass will crack. Then, he proceeded to come over and pour water on my back and front windows. How nice! The only odd part was that within a minute of him doing that, little ice crystals formed on the water still on the windshield.
