Brad's Generosity Gets Rewarded

Today was Brad's last ski club, it was a make-up ski club from one that was cancelled. He had an extra voucher which he could have saved for himself but he offered it to Kyle. Since we didn't have any plans for the evening we put Brad on the bus this afternoon and about an hour later we left to drive Kyle up to Big Bear. We knew we would pass the bus, but we didn't expect to pass his bus broken down. Just as we passed, Brad texted Kyle, "the bus has a flat tire we're going to be late". We kept driving thinking they wouldn't let him off the bus. He sends another message, "please come get me". He said they would let him off the bus. We turn around, go back and pick him up. Turns out the bus didn't have a spare, someone had to come out from Commerce (very far) to fix it. It was going to be at least three hours or more before that bus made it to Summit. So by Brad giving Kyle his extra ticket we were there to "rescue" him from the bus and they are off to a great day/night of skiing.
