Marisa Crockett speaks to an Albuquerque
Police Department officer at UNM about her free hugs project to travel
across the United States in her bio-fueled car, offering hugs and
hoping to get the word out about her recycling program. The officer was
responding to a complaint, but momentarily left after a few friendly
words, Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

It's nice to see this come around again; there really isn't anything new. I remember reading several years ago about a middle-aged man who made news by offering hugs to everybody who would accept them: bus drivers, passers-by, etc.

Hugs are good. Let's all have more of them. I hear that they often lead to smiles, and those are good, too.

Gotta go; my wife needs a hug!
