You ever make eye contact with a fellow pop in the heat of battle and just give him the head nod of "I freaking know bro"? Lol

It’s also why I love to use transit when I travel. You will never connect with others serendipitously from the back seat of an Uber. Sure, there can be gritty encounters, but both the challenges of learning a new transit system and watching the drama unfold, sometimes from a knowing eye, make it all worth it to me.

Man, this one hits. There is absolutely nothing more isolating than being a solo parent in public, with two kids that aren't listening. I can see that Spanish dude, and I hope he's getting some rest right now.
