~Thursday~ This morning’s city bus ride featured Library Man reading not an industry trade magazine, but what I at first thought might be Woman’s Day magazine, but turned out to be the Parade magazine, a Sunday paper insert in these parts. Library Man had some kind of sinus issue going on this morning, which exposed … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in, and I went in early, so there were very few people on the bus to observe. I took advantage of the opportunity to read the rest of my homework assignment for class tonight. Speaking of class, I had totally forgotten about it (in spite of doing homework for … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the city bus and back at 8:15. I took a seat across and one row back from Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, who was wearing a very nice London Fog charcoal-colored trench coat and heads down in a book. His books are usually small and thin. This one was larger and thicker … Read more
~Thursday~ Because there was ice on my windshield this morning, I did something I can’t ever remember doing—I started my car to run while I poured my coffee into my thermos and gathered my things up to leave. As I returned to my living room, which faces the parking area, I could hear my car … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up early again this morning, and caught the Wolfline (#9 Greek Village) bus in to work. This was probably the last bus students could catch to get to an 8:00 class, and before it was all said and done, there were people standing in the aisle, but it wasn’t butts-to-nuts. 8:00 classes … 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
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious Sunday. Right after breakfast, I did two loads of laundry. Facebook is really off base with these ridiculous ads that keep popping up down the right side of my screen while I’m logged in: I tweeted this about them: Hate to tell advertisers that those [obviously Photoshopped—to the … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I took the bus seat in front of Sci-Fi Fantasy Man who was, well, reading science fiction fantasy, as that’s what he does. I was just happy to see him. In addition to the standard, long bus rear view mirror, on this bus there was a little round mirror as well—about a … Read more
~Thursday~ I was back to my regular schedule this morning, catching the 8:15 bus, and I still didn’t notice any of my named characters aboard. This is crazy! At the next stop, a lady got on whom I’ve talked about in the past, but whom I haven’t yet named. Until now. Cigarette Saver is usually … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 6:45 city bus this morning, so not surprisingly none of my characters were on board. It was still dark out at that time, and it’s another cold day here, so most people had on lots of clothing. Two people, whom I think were both men (well, college boys), both got off … Read more
