Public Transit

Due to practical (lack of adequate driving skills during rush hour) & economic (my work pays for my pass) reasons, I now ride Trax to work.

This morning while waiting for the train I saw something fun. A homeless-looking man is smoking a cigarette and decides he is done. He scans the audience from afar. He then selects a young teenager (perhaps 14 years old) sitting near me to pass his cigarette onto. The boy quickly accepts and begins inhaling. Through their non-verbal exchange, it's obvious these two are perfect strangers.

So, I guess there are even more perks to Trax than I realized. I could be sharing half-smoked cigarettes with homeless-looking men, even when clearly underage...

  2. I feel like you'd be more likely the share-er than the share-ee. Germs and all...
