The Apocalypse

The first sign of the Apocalypse is upon us. I saw the single most amazing thing I have ever seen today. While on the bus, a homeless man got on. He had no money to pay, but wouldn't get off. The driver put the bus in park and waited. Several minutes went by. Then a man from the center of the bus walked up and paid for his ticket. In and of itself, this is not so amazing. Maybe the guy was just fed up with waiting. But it was a step in the right direction. Then, a block later, an old lady got on. This same guy got up from his seat and offered it to the old lady. We had a winner. A kind Kalifornian. Now, there may be some room for leeway here, as this guy may have originally been from out of state, but I'm still blown away. I've never before seen that here. I've been here two years. I was shocked. I wanted to reward the guy somhow, for an effort that would be second nature in 49 other states.

I am keeping a lookout for horsemen.

Sports predictions: Purdue is going to the Rose Bowl and the Cubs will win the world series against the White Sox with a grand slam to the opposite field upper deck by their injured pitcher on a full count in the bottom of the ninth inning while down by 3 runs in game seven.
