Dar BART

A special nod to the keen young character who practiced the utmost pragmatic wit as he popped a piece of gum into his mouth before going under the Bay from Embarcadero to West Oakland. He keenly saw me eyeing him with envy as I spied at him through the stark reflection in the train's window. And as I tried to skim the crowd only to bow my head in silence and ear popping, he caught my eye with a genuine gesture of gum offering...So shocked with his intuition and grace, I could only nod no in subtle appreciation of his practicality and thoughtfulness!
