~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
~Friday~ Evidently I didn’t get the memo that it was hood and hat day on the bus. Four people sitting around me had hoods on, and by that I mean they had them pulled up over their heads on the bus, and two of them had on hats under those hoods. One of the hoods—sans … Read more
~Thursday~ Library Man was aboard this morning, reading the News & Observer. I noticed Mrs. My Three Sons still making the two-block trek to have her kids board the bus where a lot of other kids also board. It’s actually a fairly significant walk for her, as she’s not a petite lady, so it’s extra … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Tuesday~ Once again, I had something going on after work and wanted more bus options at the end of the day, so I took the Wolfline bus in again this morning. It was perfect timing, as the bus arrived just as I arrived at the stop. A glance around the bus revealed three people doing … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the Wolfline in this morning for more options to get home in time to make it back to campus for class at 6:00. I wanted my car with me as tonight was Salon VIII, right after class, and we were meeting out at Sarah’s as she’s been having some health issues. On … Read more
~Monday~ There were no regulars on the bus, well Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was on, but way in the back and I didn’t see him until he got off the bus and walked up beside it before we pulled away. At the McKimmon Center, this quite big guy walked toward the bus (as it had stopped … Read more
~Thursday~ There was a stranger at my bus stop this morning. It’s been months and months since anyone has gotten on the city bus with me in the morning, but as I came in view of the stop, there was one today. He had on an Old Navy pullover fleece-type shirt of which I have … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the city bus in today, but not the #12 Method bus. Instead I parked over by Avent Ferry road and took the #11 Avent Ferry bus in. That ride had more of a Wolfline “look and feel” to it, as by the time we got near campus the entire aisle was filled … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was not as cold as I expected it to be this morning. There’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground, particularly in places “where the sun don’t shine.” The bus driver today was someone I haven’t seen before, a white guy, committed to not making eye contact with boarding customers—at least … Read more
