~Friday~ Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth lady was back this morning and once again living up to her name. Loud, liquid, flow. Folded Red-Tipped White Caner (FR-TWC) guy got on this morning, who I’ve talked about a few times now. In earlier buscapades, this is the guy who the bus driver waved the fare ticket at him that he’d left … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention yesterday, that on the way home, on that 8:15 bus, the Waffle House Lady was on her way to work. I always see her in the morning on the way home from work. She looks happier in the morning going home. I’m just saying… Just now-christened Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth was on board … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running a little late this morning. It’s almost always at my stop by 8:25. Today it came at 8:30. Fortunately, I still made it in time for my 9:00 meeting. I had three meetings today. Two involved food. The 9-10 one was our department meeting, to which I brought sausage biscuits, … Read more
~Monday~ This morning there was somewhat of a Buscapade Character Reunion on the bus. Swapping Dollar was aboard, and none-to-happy about Arguing Man being in his seat up front, where he (Swapping Dollar) usually sits talking to the bus driver. You remember Swapping Dollar—the character formerly known as Cochise. Jackie O’ Lantern, another of that … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I stopped by Hardee’s and used a coupon for a sausage and egg biscuit for $.99. I also ordered a medium sized coffee to pour in my thermos. “That’ll be $3.86,” the cashier said. I did some quick math in my head—$1.26 for coffee and $.99 for the biscuit. “Uh, $3.86 can’t … Read more
~Thursday~ This morning’s buscapade brought back the Waffle House Lady, but this time I knew she was not taking the long way to work, but had just gotten off her shift, and was actually on her way home. Her name badge had four pins on it, a big one on the left side, and three … Read more
~Wednesday~ The only thing worse than buscapades are leftover buscapades. Sorry. This happened yesterday on the way home, and I forgot to capture it. A piggy banker got on the bus, but before she started the coin clanging, she said to the bus, “Anyone got a nickel?” I have really got to start keeping some … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today brought about a transfer of responsibility on the bus. Specifically, the accounting for my free ride each day has been transferred from the bus driver to me. It used to be that I just flashed my NCSU Campus Card at the bus driver and s/he pushed some button on the computer attached to … Read more
~Monday~ The girl in the seat in front of me on the bus this morning did one of those Johari Window’s second quadrant (“blind spot”) things. That’s the quadrant that contains the things you don’t know, but that others do. What she didn’t know that I did know was that when she pulled up her … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 7:15 bus in this morning, one of the earlier ones I’ve taken since starting riding, and it was surprisingly empty, in other words, boring. I wanted to get to work early so I could leave early, as I had to be in Durham by 4:45 this afternoon. I had a busy … Read more
