The sheriff, fire potential, one thin dime, a junked trunk, space planning, Mardi Gras 2011, & TPPN

~Thursday~  A deputy sheriff was in the ‘hood this morning when I headed out to the bus stop. It stopped right in front of my house and I saw him walking with some papers in his hand toward the townhouse across from mine. You know I stretched my neck as far as it would stretch … Read more

Chin whisker laser surgery beard, a visually crisp morning, 2-years today, a haircut, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I caught the 6:45 bus, which was so on time that I would have missed it if I’d’ve run back to my house to get my phone charger that I’d forgotten, like I’d thought about doing. When I got on, there were two other people already aboard at this god-awful hour, including an older … Read more

SSDD on the bus, 3 parts to a genuine apology, ASB starts up, and happiness social media style…

~Tuesday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, and although Stagnant Driver wasn’t the driver, it was stagnant on the bus anyway. I just don’t understand. What’s so hard about sensing that even just a fan blowing to circulate the air on the bus would make it more comfortable? A guy who got on at Gorman … Read more

Kevin departs, a couple of snap-snaps, a chancellor chalk talk, and Salon XIV…

~Monday~  Kevin ended up getting in closer to 4AM than 3AM, but he got up at 8AM to come downstairs to bid me adieu. At about 8:10, I said to Kevin, “I don’t want to get out there too early for the bus.” I went to my kitchen window and looked out saying, “I wonder … Read more

The weather’s perfect, so Stagnant Driver wears a coat; and a potential coke-blowing utensil…

~Friday~  The weather was absolutely perfect this morning at 63° and 65% humidity; although, it’s kind of scary when 65% humidity feels great. Since I was back on the 8:15 bus, Stagnant Driver pulled up and boarding I noted that she had on a windbreaker jacket, which was zipped all the way up. And although … Read more

Faux temps, hyperbolic sunshine, finding a church on the bus, & dealt 2 cards—a Queen & a 3…

~Thursday~  At the bus stop, the weather felt crisp and I wondered what the temperature was. A quick check of The Weather Channel app on my CrackBerry indicated 59°, which I just couldn’t believe. “It can’t be that cold out here.” I checked wral.com’s weather page, and it said 67°, which seemed much more plausible. … Read more

Being earsprayed and fishing on the bus, a good day at work, and Geromy’s swan dance…

~Wednesday~  The 7:45 city bus was on the late side, arriving at about 7:58. Who’s keeping track? When it pulled up, I noticed that its front and center sign that alternately displays the route (#12 Method) and the direction (Inbound or Outbound) indicated outbound. However, when it gets to my stop, it is inbound. I’m … Read more

The bus at oh-dark-hundred; humming in the mens room; tea leaves, Tarot cards, and fun, oh my!

~Friday~  I got to bed at 2:00AM, so the 5:45 AM alarm was too soon and not at all welcomed. I think this might be the first time—in the almost two years now that I’ve been riding the bus to work—that it’s been dark when I’ve walked to the bus stop. I caught the 6:15 city … Read more

Biceps bulging on the bus, a bus meteorologist, dinner@Two Guys & Trailer Park Trash…

~Thursday~  I caught the 7:15 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus this morning, where a college hottie waited for it to arrive with me. Well, technically, he wasn’t waiting with me. He had on a light blue/gray t-shirt that highlighted his erect nipples, and at one point he stretched raising his t-shirt up to expose the … Read more

~Wednesday~  I got my butt up at 7:00 instead of 7:30 today, with the specific goal of catching the 7:45 bus instead of the 8:15 mobile toaster oven. It was another one of those days that wasn’t that hot temperature-wise, but the humidity was so high that the back of my neck was wet with … Read more
