Subject: An Ed Story

.
.
One afternoon last summer I was driving a No. 10 Kootenay Loop bus through the busy intersection at Main and Hastings. This is an intersection where the people cross against the lights, doesn't matter if it's red, green or orange, they just go.

I coincidentally happened to be sitting at a red light with a full bus load, and who should drive by in front of me but Ed, on his scooter.

When I spotted Ed I yelled out my window "Hey, buddy, get that scooter out of my way!" I heard a gasp or two from my passengers, everyone else was silent and looking at me aghast. I was looking at Ed, waiting for some kind of acknowledgement. He didn't say anyhting and I was thinking "Oh, great, I'm going to get letters and everyone is looking at me like a mean bastard, talking to a guy in a scooter that way."

I was sweating bullets cause I looked like a real bastard.

Finally, Ed smiled and said "Hi, Rick", and waved, and I kind of breathed a sigh of relief.

The next time the local Vancouver gang met for coffee, we had a real laugh over that one, and Ed admitted to biding his time waiting and letting me sweat.

Ed sure had a sense of humour. Miss you, buddy.
