Public Service Announcement from the Evening Commute:

If you are an old man who smells like he’s most certainly carrying a large quantity of marijuana and is visibly toting a bag of chips, don’t walk anywhere alone – in the Greater Vancouver Area, especially.

Further to this warning, do not, under any circumstances, also pull a wad of $20 bills out of your wallet – numerous times, as you sit, reeking, on a SkyTrain.

Report from the Evening Commute:

Santa was spotted on a SkyTrain in the Vancouver area tonight.

The Man in Red was incognito, apparently watching to see if commuters were being naughty or nice.
