Pay it forward...
I was just thinking about something that happened the other day. It was just before the Great Chicago Snowpocalypse of 2011, and I had gone down the slick stairs into the Red Line subway downtown. As I approached the machine to check and add funds to my card, a guy at the other machine said: "I don't think that one is working." It looked like he was just about done with his so I waited. The machine beeped and he took his card and stopped for a second. He held out his hand with two singles in in and said: "Here take this." I was a little bewildered and he said: "I found some money here in front of the machine. Someone must have accidentally dropped it. Take this and apply it to your fare. I'll feel better about it." I agreed and off he went. It just gave me a little pause. It isn't something you expect in a city subway, or many other places. So of course a few extra straggling dollars made their way into the cup of a man sitting in the snow on the corner. Funny how little things can stay with you and make a difference in your day.
