…as you’re walking to work from the train, listening to your MP3 player, The Bee Gees’ “Night Fever” drops into your shuffle.

Observed today on the walk back from lunch.

A man in a motorized wheelchair crosses against the light, as another man driving a car with a disabled parking card nearly hits him, not slowing down a smidgen.

This morning on my train car, the guitar intro to ACDC’s “Back In Black” kicked in.

A late-middle-aged woman reached into her purse to pull out the cell phone that was producing the music.

As she sipped a box of juice (the kind normally seen in the hands of a toddler), she admonished her son over the phone for forgetting his basketball shoes.
