9. Nice post. I guess you get out of someone's post what you can.

I focus on the 74 year old. In my head, is he there because he needs the money? Probably. Or maybe he's just lonely and the job takes up empty time. Or maybe he was like a guy I worked with. Tommy and his wife saved and worked all their lives. Tommy drove a truck 6 days a week. They had a house, nice car and stuff.

That was good until their kid became a drug addict. They lost their house and savings on lawyers and rehabs. Tommy quit driving in his late 70's.

That brings me to the concern about this. Tommy shouldn't have been driving. He was on pain killers and somehow his physician didn't detect this or let it go. He also never got called for the "randoms." He's retired now and the roads are safer.

Your guy at the depot.... should he be driving?
