Yeah, I know it's a little late, but...

It's still raining here, though not heavily. Evidently it's also raining in the agricultural heartlands, too, according to media reports, so it's a good thing.

This morning I caught the bus without my usual headphones and crossword puzzle to keep me occupied. A young man got on and asked if anyone had a quarter to help him pay for the bus. Out of the kindness of my heart I gave him one, he paid the fare and then sat right next to me to tell me his life story and why he didn't have enough for the bus. Early in the morning is not the time I want to hear a tale of sorrow.
