There is a pigeon on the train.

First off I must say that Mike brought to my attention that I have stopped putting two spaces after a period in a sentence. I don't know why but I am going to try to remember to include both spaces today.

So the other day I was on the train getting ready to head home and I looked over and there was a pigeon walking down the aisle of the train. It was just taking it's time as if looking for a little bird seat for the commute. As I hung over the seat watching it walk down the aisle a business guy(a "suit" if you are an Entourage fan) came slowly past me and said "If I walk real slow I bet I can get this little guy out of here." I smiled and said "yeah he looks a little lost" Then I watched as this guy and his briefcase slowly ushered the bird towards the door. When the bird stopped he would stop. And eventually he ushered this bird out the door and I tell you that I saw a look of utter relief on his little beaky face. Then I saw the suit come back up stairs and sit down with a look of quiet satisfaction on his face. It made me realize that there are still really nice people out there. Granted I have no idea if this guy gets home and takes the head he has in the freezer out to defrost for dinner or not. But in that moment he was a really decent, caring guy. And it made me smile.
