~Tuesday~ There were two peeps at my bus stop again this morning, once again an African-American couple, but not the same couple as yesterday. No pictures—portrait or landscape orientation—were taken. They both boarded before me and both said, “Day passes, please,” which is a requirement before putting your $2.00 in the fare machine so the … Read more
~Saturday~ Although it had stopped snowing by morning, its remnants were all about.

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
