I boarded the bus earlier today, a 221 heading into central Redmond and onward to points south. Midway down the road one of the passengers noticed a wallet on the floor of the bus. He picked it up, asked around who’s it was, and then mentioned it to the driver and handed it over to him.

He eventually got off the bus just about two or three stops later. Upon pulling away at the very next stop, the owner of the wallet euphorically saw it on the dash and was reunited with here wallet.

That probability, that luck, is wonderful to see and impossible to expect! Great to see someone’s day not ruined.

To note, for those that don’t know, this isn’t all that uncommon in the pacific northwest of the USA. I’ve lost mine and had it returned, I’ve dropped my phone on the bus and had it returned. It’s amazing what a generally good natured and trusting people tend to enable. A lot fewer ruined days in these parts of the USA than the lands I grew up in, that’s for sure!
