I saw an old man, back hooked by age, skin wrinkled and thin, help a lady with a baby carriage off a street car. It took like five seconds for him to negotiate each step while walking backwards and holding the bottom of the carriage. I wanted to applaud him after the minute had transpired and they finally reached street level.
When I was writing this post, my sister kept asking me why I was laughing. The picture of the old man I found on the internet (left) looks identical to the man I saw on the streetcar.
