5:40 p.m. Dark, cold evening rush hour. Dundas streetcar, eastbound, approaching University.
Driver (over the P.A. system): If you’re exiting the streetcar, please take all your belongings with you and remember to smile, because life is too short to be grumpy.
Everyone chuckles and, for a moment, feels a bit better.
