Just when you think the entire city of San Francisco is going to H-ll, a random act of kindness resets your thinking about the whole Armageddon concept.
After work yesterday, Nick and I went into the BART station (S.F.’s underground mass transit system) to purchase tickets to ride the train to the Mission district. As I was getting out money to pay the machine, I accidentally dropped a few bucks without noticing in the crowded station. A few seconds later, an older gentleman tapped me on the shoulder, said “you dropped this,” and handed me back the bills I had lost. I thanked him, hopped on BART to 16th and Mission, and then finished the night with an awesome dinner at Pizzeria Delfina (drop whatever you’re doing and secure an outside table at this place…).
I’m certainly not an optimist about life; I consider myself more a realist when it comes to our existence. But I do believe in Newton’s Law of Motion – for every action, there is an equal, but opposite reaction – and life certainly carries this out.
Thanks, San Francisco – didn’t mean to write you off so soon. (That being said, I properly just earned myself a parking ticket or two later this month…)
