A thing that happened

Awhile ago I was walking home from the grocery store when I heard someone driving up the street with their music blaring. As I was near a high school, I assumed it was one of the students...and was pleasantly surprised to see a middle-aged, heavily-mustached man bobbing his head and looking smugly at the group of teens gathered around the bus stop. But he didn't stop there...no, he rolled his window down just as a tubular guitar solo erupted from the middle of the retro ballad he was bobbing to. Then he decelerated just enough to make it obvious he was vying for some attention, at which point the teenagers looked around awkwardly and didn't even have the typical adolescent audacity to make any loud comments. I think they were all stunned to silence at this blatant mockery or attempt at being cool. I'm not sure what it was, really. Maybe it was just his attempt at making some random strangers laugh because he knows what it's like to need a good laugh. What a good man! It made my day, anyway.
