Thank You, Dancing Man!

With summer coming to an end, the traffic is building and it is becoming more apparent how significant the loss of the I-35W bridge will be for commuting. My commute time has doubled this week as more people return from vacations. Next week will likely be worse.

But in the midst of stop-and-go traffic this morning there was dancing man.

As I sat in my car, cursing under my breath and waiting for cars to move, I looked over in the next lane and there he was. A younger man with glasses, driving a small, gray sedan.

And the man was jamming!
He was rocking out!
Swinging to the tunes!
Getting into his groove!
Oblivious to the jammed up world around him!

And then something strange happened:

I smiled!

Thank you, Dancing Man!
