Unbelievable....it appears that the perpetrators may have been watching this man for a while.  It would make sense....an elderly man, no one else around, middle of the night.  Sad, sad, sad. :'(

Most mornings when I wake up, I turn on the radio and lie around for a few minutes.  This was the first story I heard, and it has colored my entire day.  What's weird is that as soon as the story started with the words, "A 72 year old man waiting for a PACE bus at 3:45 this morning....", I just KNEW this gentleman was headed for dialysis.  I just FELT it in my soul, and sure enough, that's exactly where he was going. :(

"Eggs are so inadequate, don't you think?  I mean, they ought to be able to become anything, but instead you always get a chicken.  Or a duck.  Or whatever they're programmed to be.  You never get anything interesting, like regret, or the middle of last week."
