When a gangly, scruffy man whom I’d judged as too sketchy-looking for me to sit next to in the lobby of the Greyhound station in downtown LA prevented my spastic freshman college ass from boarding the wrong bus in the dead of night because he overheard the Greyhound ticket lady give me directions for boarding… — read more
