~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
~Friday~ I was grateful for both a kind and caring management team and for being in a job where it’s possible to work remotely, as I really wasn’t feeling at all social today, and I had to make a few personal calls that I would rather not have made from the office, such as the … 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
~Friday~ Once again, I took the Wolfline bus to work instead of the city bus in order to have more options to get home, as a big winter storm has been squawked about for way too many days now, and the last report I listened to (which admittedly was probably two days ago) estimated its … Read more
~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a meeting in the Talley Student Center from where there are two bus options home that run more often than the city bus at that time. The bus wasn’t very crowded when I first got on and I took an inventory of the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the bus stop a few minutes early, which did not bode well with the combination of cold temperatures this morning and the lateness of the bus. It got to the point where I looked around for a very wide tree that I might stand aside in such a way that it … Read more
~Tuesday~ In a rare move indeed, I drove in to work today. As a public transportation user, which the university pays for so I ride free, I also get about 14 free parking passes per year to use “just in case.” I can use these passes, on which you scratch (but not sniff) three circles—one … Read more
~Monday~ I thought I was taking the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, but what actually showed up was a “GV to DH Hill” (from Greek Village to the university library) bus instead. I’ve seen this bus in passing before, and figured it was kind of an “over-flow” bus that just serves the … Read more
~Friday~ A non-regular rider was doing a Sudoku puzzle in my line of vision on the bus this morning, and I had the following thoughts watching him: I just never have been engaged by those. I would much rather be playing with words in a crossword puzzle, as I prefer words to numbers and at … Read more
