What a nice (yet not saccharin) story, thanks for posting it.

That was great.

I did something similar a few weeks ago. Having acquired a car rather late into the game (actually I only own *half* of it), I know now how much it sucks to rely on the bus. Especially if you're out the door a minute late.

Easy to recognize the deflation of the older lady with bags who was pinned down opposite the bus she wanted by traffic crossing in both directions. She knew she was SOL.

I'm right next to her, waiting for the same hole in the traffic to turn onto the arterial. She looked at me and I told her to hop in.

We chit-chatted about buses. Her trip requires her to transfer, which we skipped, and I dropped her off at the Starbucks near her work so that she, too, could get a coffee and still not be late.

You are a noble balm sometimes, half-a-car.

This kind of thing happens to me in Seattle all the time. I sometimes wonder what city other people live in when I read about what terrible things happen to them. I know that I live in just-North and just-South Seattle (all around the ship canal), but I travel far north and far south regularly, and see lovely behavior all over.

Kindness is sexy. It really is.
