A Random Act at 30th and Madison

So, this morning I dropped Frisket off at Monstermutt and heading into Manhattan. My goal was to pick up a computer which I'd bought way back in November and which has been in for “repairs” since early December. On the way to the computer place (Madison Ave Computers) I saw a bike messenger riding south on Madsion take a quick turn onto 30th. As he rode through the turn he dropped his phone or walkie-talkie. At the same time, the light changed and traffic rushed across the intersection. I assumed I was going to see what happens when a phone meets a Michelin but no, a delivery truck stopped before riding over the phone. As horns honked, the cyclist ran back and retrieved the phone from under the van.
