Just now I experienced moment of beauty #3.
On the #12 going up Madison.
A young man in a velour track suit and Tupac shirt steps aboard the bus with his Ipod so loud that I can clearly hear the Ludacris from 10 feet away. I assume he is the average tuned out, could care less teenager. We get to the last stop in the ride free area, where an older gentlemen gets off, then I see the young man bolt across the bus, grab something then jump off. I look through the window to see the young guy offering the old man a book, but he simply shakes his head. The young guy looks at the book, looks around, and then looks up and smiles as the bus drives away.
And that was that.
