~Wednesday~ Xolani and I rode the bus together this morning. It was running a little behind, arriving at our stop closer to 7:30 than 7:20. Li’l Dino boarded at her stop and she said hello to me while touching my shoulder as she passed me. Cell Phone Lady boarded at her regular stop and she … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the 6:45 bus this morning and part of the trip was déjà vu and the other part brand spanking new. I’m a poet and don’t know it. I can make a rhyme any old time. The part that was déjà vu was the two people who got off the bus just as … Read more
~Monday~ It was 16° out this morning, and I waited for the bus with my long pants, a sweatshirt, my ski jacket, and gloves on. Fortunately, the wind was hardly blowing at all, so it was not as cold as it might have been with an additional wind chill factored in. Before I could swipe … Read more
~Monday~ Right Way William (the bus driver formerly known as Wrong Way Willie) was our driver this morning. I took the seat behind a woman who was dressed flawlessly—at least from the neck up; I couldn’t see the rest of her. She had on a black knit blouse with a thin rim of white around … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, where I took a seat behind Library Man who was reading his trade magazine, ArcNews, and specifically, an article entitled, “Nine Innovations in ArcGIS 9.4.” Not that I was nosing over his shoulder or anything. At Li’l Dino‘s stop, she did not get on … Read more
~Wednesday~ Since we’re being “sent home” (in a good, Thanksgiving, kind of way) today at 3:00, the Wolfline buses aren’t running, and the city bus wouldn’t depart until about 3:40, I decided to use one of my dozen or so free parking passes that you get as a sort of “thank you” for taking public … Read more
~Tuesday~ While I waited for the bus this morning, a college student walked by walking his dachshund, which had the most interesting coloring. It looked like this little guy, except all gray and black even on the paws. What made it even more interesting to me, and made me audibly chuckle actually, was that the … Read more
~Monday~ The bus driver this morning was Wrong Way Willie—I just now named him although he earned his name two weeks ago. Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter got off at the stop after I got on, and Sophia’s hair was not tied up, which always makes her look precociously old, reminding me of Donna Summer’s hair … Read more
~Thursday~ Library Man was reading a magazine this morning—no surprise there. However, he’s usually reading a magazine in his field, and one of physical substance. The one he held today was very thin and flimsy, like it was published on cheap paper. It reminded me of the copies of Woman’s Day that litter my mother’s … Read more
~Friday~ Though the rain was supposed to stop today and it was only slightly drizzling, I schlepped that big-assed golf umbrella to the bus stop again. Madonna & Genetically-Beautiful Daughter were getting ready to get off at the next stop, and little Sophia was holding a book that I so wanted to see the title … Read more
