~Tuesday~ The prodigal son (that would be me) returned to the city bus today and although it was my standard 8:15 ride, none of my characters were aboard or boarded en route to my work. An African-American man sat across the aisle from me on my row, and he wore brown sunglasses—for what reason I … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus in again this morning, and what a difference a day (or two or three) makes. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen the bus—everyone must have had 8:00 exams. It was also the most assertive I’ve ever seen any bus driver be as she knew it was going … Read more
~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running late this morning—almost five minutes past the time when it usually is the latest that it arrives. I put on my patience hat, which never has fit very well. Entering the bus, I was greeted by an ear-piercingly loud noise that continued the entire trip. I don’t know how the bus … Read more
~Monday~ Wrong Way Willie was driving this morning, but he took the correct route today. I suppose he may never live down the fact that he took a wrong turn one day. I certainly can’t see myself dropping it. I’m going to go ahead and rename a character here, and I’ll mention both of her … 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
~Tuesday~ I think my buscapade characters are conspiring against me for riding the Wolfline buses a lot lately. This morning’s city bus offered up only Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, reading as usual, but without the usual ear buds in. None of my other peeps made an appearance today. We had our weekly department meeting from 9:00-10:00 … Read more
~Monday~ I had the most ridiculous dreams all night long about editing a document in Microsoft Word that was going to be published on the web. Inane. I got behind enough this morning to miss the 8:15 city bus, so I carried myself over to Gorman Street to catch the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus. … 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
~Friday~ I was really behind this morning. I caught a Wolfline bus, close to 9:00. It was more crowded than I thought it would be, as it would arrive on campus too late for a 9:00 class. It was crowded enough that the aisle filled up to the point that eventually someone completely obstructed my … Read more
