thank you

If you know me well enough, you know that I can at times hyperfocus on something and forget everything else around me. That can be a handy skill when studying, playing music, creating something, or getting things done at work.

Unfortunately, it's not such a useful quality when you're rushing to get out of the bus to get to work and you end up forgetting your camera in the bus and then chase it down Terminator-2 style until the next stop a few blocks down the road... I wouldn't recommend it, but it's a good warmup and it really gets the adrenaline going...

When I caught up with the bus, a fine Spanish gentleman came down from the bus smiling. He must have seen me running after the bus, realized what had happened and saw the camera and handed it to me.

He or someone else in the bus could have easily just taken it and I would have never known who did it.

I like it when my faith in humanity is restored or reinforced.
Thank you good, honest people of the world.
