Nice people. . .

Yesterday, Paul was using his one Metro card for the two of us to get through the subway. On our way home, he passed the card through -- I went through, then he passed his card through for himself -- and it didn't take the card. He'd run out of money. So I waited on the other side of the heavy bars while he tried to put more money on the card on his side. Turns out none of the 3 machines were working! So he told me he'd go to the other side of the street and try the machines there, when a woman saw our predicament and let him use her card. Of course, Paul gave her $3 for the $2.50 it cost her even though she protested.
