~Thursday~ At the city bus stop this morning, for no apparent reason, the horn alarm on this car started going off: It stopped after several minutes, also for no apparent reason. That is to say, no one came out to tend to it, at least no one that I could see. This “house ad” was … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, on which I was the third to board, preceded only by these two women, who talked almost non-stop my entire ride. Actually, it would be more accurate to say the woman on the right talked most of the way, and the other one listened. She had the highest … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today was a first in that I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:20, and I actually missed the bus. Well, I waited until 8:31, as it’s never been later than 8:30. I checked the whereabouts of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and saw that I could catch it if I drove … Read more
~Friday~ I was late getting to the city bus stop, but did stand there long enough to witness Riley’s half-hearted response to his “mother’s” half-hearted toss of a stick for him to fetch. This little vignette sort of saddened me a bit, as I interpreted her half-halfheartedness as not really being into Riley, and attributed … Read more
~Thursday~ Before leaving my house, I put put out my trash can and recycle bin for today’s imminent collections. It was hot and humid as f*ck out this morning, and I started sweating just standing still waiting for the bus. Ridamndiculous. I was on the 7:15 bus this morning to get to work early enough … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took an early bus in this morning to get to work in time to help my officemate, Rhonda, set up for our surprise birthday breakfast for our manager. When I arrived, Rhonda had done all the decorations in terms of setting the table and putting streamers up over our manager’s office door. Jude, … Read more
~Tuesday~ While waiting for the bus this morning on the shady, opposite side of the street, an empty taxi cab turned onto Kaplan Street with his window down. He saw me looking at him as he neared me, and he said out his window, “Need a taxi?” “No thanks, I’m waiting on the bus,” I … Read more
~Monday~ On the Wolfline bus this morning, an Asian guy sat across from me in a bright red polo shirt, calf-length black pants that stopped four inches short of where his black socks started. That outfit was capped (or should I say “toed”) off with shiny, shiny patent leather dress shoes. The CapadeCam caught part … Read more
~Thursday~ I was out of bread this morning, so I skipped my morning ritual of fixing a breakfast sandwich, which usually consists of a bagel thin, a turkey sausage patty, and hard-boiled egg whites. Nor did I brew my usual four cups of coffee to take to work in my thermos. Since, once I got … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in to work this morning. Those of you who know me know that I am, if anything, the opposite of a fashionista or fashion connoisseur, but even I can tell that this is not a good look: Li’l Dino boarded, while on her phone, and she walked down … Read more
