~Tuesday~ The city bus was on the verge of being “too late” this morning. It arrived at 8:30, ten minutes later than the expected 8:20. Library Man was aboard, reading a newspaper or a magazine that looked like a newspaper. At one stop, a college kid boarded with a carton that said, “All Whites,” on … 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
~Thursday~ I caught the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus today on which I observed a young man about whom I might invoke one of my father’s favorite sayings about, “He reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.” He was kind of a geeky kid, and he had a huge stack of papers, … 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
~Tuesday~ As I waited for the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus this morning, a dump truck, towing a tractor on a short flatbed came speeding down Gorman street. It took the driver quite a while to realize that there was a State Trooper in an SUV behind it with its lights flashing for him to … 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
~Friday~ I took the Wolfine bus in this morning, as I had extra stuff with me and I wanted to be dropped off closer to my building. There were surprisingly few kids on the bus this morning; perhaps because I caught the one right after 8:00 so everyone with 8:00 classes had already gotten in … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was my meeting day from hell, which I alluded to in Monday’s blog entry: Due to that 4:00 meeting, which was in the Talley Student Center, which is most convenient to a slew of Wolfline buses but only one city bus, I took a Wolfline bus in this morning. It wasn’t jammed packed … Read more
~Tuesday~ Sci-Fi Fantasy Man and Library Man were on when I boarded, and both heads-down reading. Naturally, S-FFM was reading a novel, he had ear buds in, and he still needed a haircut. LM sat behind me, but I saw before I sat down that he was reading a newspaper as opposed to a magazine … 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
