~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in again this morning. I think it’s time the seats on the university buses take a lesson from what had to be done at Disneyland to the boats that take riders through It’s a Small World. The seats on the buses are way too narrow to … Read more
~Monday~ I entered the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus to quite an androgynous boy who made a loud sneeze into his open hand. He looked at it and stopped short of wiping it on his pants. The girl sitting next to him—they looked like a couple—wore this shirt: At first I thought it was an … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Monday~ I’m itching to get back to my “life’s routine,” but I didn’t start the day that way, waking up five minutes after I should have been at work. I’d set my alarm clock for 7:30PM instead of 7:30AM. After a quick e-mail to my boss, I rushed through my morning ritual and arrived at … Read more
~Wednesday~ I used one of the ten or so free parking passes that users of public transportation are allowed each year by the university, as I had an errand to run during lunch. My work day started off with a 9:00-10:00 meeting, which although is not my favorite way to start the day, this one … Read more
~Monday~ I took the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus in and lo and behold there was another set of Doublemint Duplicates, also known as identical twins, although unlike the Doublemint Duplicates on the #9 Greek Village route, these are African-American instead of White and gals instead of guys. For the latter reason, I’m going to … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another nipply morning, and another rider paying his bus fare with gloves on. This was a sensible person, though, as he was not trying to deposit coins, but merely sliding his fare card, which he did beautifully and it worked perfectly. Oh yeah, he was me. Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was reading a small hard-bound … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 8:30 #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a class at the Avent Ferry Technology Center (AFTC), which is right across from the Mission Valley Shopping Center on Avent Ferry Road. I’ve only ever taken that bus before to take it all the way into campus. I … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were only two people on the bus when I boarded this morning, and one of them had a scowl on her face, as if she were unhappy to be riding the bus. It made me think about my attitude about riding the bus. I really enjoy it. However, I don’t have to ride … Read more
~Monday~ Another rare occurrence sharing my bus stop with another person, or in today’s case, other people. An African-American couple, he with a pair of ladies hosiery, either beige, nude or tan I’d guess, wrapped around his head, and she with a pair of shiny, black vinyl boots with rainbow-colored polka dots all over them. … Read more
