~Saturday~ I woke up at 10:59, and I was happy to turn off my alarm that I thought was going to screech at 11:00, but it was actually set for 11:30. A quiet—less harsh—start to the day at any rate. I stopped by K-Mart on my way to the gym to either get that discount … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 7:15 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus this morning, where a college hottie waited for it to arrive with me. Well, technically, he wasn’t waiting with me. He had on a light blue/gray t-shirt that highlighted his erect nipples, and at one point he stretched raising his t-shirt up to expose the … Read more
~Tuesday~ Stagnant Driver opened the doors to the mobile pressure cooker between 8:25 and 8:30, a little behind schedule. There were a couple of windows open, which helped to let off a little steam—literally and figuratively. I took a seat behind a person whose hair was a maze of tangles, or amazingly tangled, and whose … Read more
~Friday~ Stagnant Driver pulled up in her 40-foot mobile oven this morning, and left it on bake my entire trip, searing her buscapade character name into time immemorial. What is wrong with her? I wish she were menopausal, although she doesn’t appear to be any where near old enough to be. It didn’t occur to … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at about 9:15, and after a quick cup of coffee and a short instant message conversation with Robert, I’d SSSed, and was off to Durham. In case it was crowded, Robert headed over to Elmo’s Diner while I was on my way. I checked in by phone as I got within … Read more
~Friday~ At the bus stop this morning, my BlackBerry notified me that “Miss Wood” had confirmed our friendship on Facebook. Miss Wood (who is now very Mrs. Wood, complete with children and grandchildren) was one of my high school math teachers, and my friend Mike Manuel from high school “recommended” that I friend her a … Read more
~Wednesday~ You’ve heard of the fork in the road, but how about the: I stepped over that walking to my bus stop this morning. That driver was back, but mercifully, she actually had on the air-conditioning. The Kanki Guy (officially named now) got on at the McDonald’s stop at Western/Gorman, and I’ve officially deemed that … Read more
~Tuesday~ This morning’s 8:15 city bus was sufficiently air-conditioned. A man sat in the front, right, center-facing seat holding up a little piece of paper with an address of 900 Gorman Street on it, and both the lady in the seat behind me and the seat across from me were engaged in helping him determine … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was a repeat of a stagnant-air, hot bus. Several of the windows were actually open, though, and the air mercifully came on at the Kaplan and Gorman intersection, which is just minutes past where I board. Interestingly, when it did come on, it smelled a little musty and mildewy. Like Roseanne Roseannadanna used … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another uncomfortably high-humidity morning boarding a bus with no air circulating whatsoever. During my short 10-15 minute ride, one person fanned himself with a magazine, one lady got up and took two CAT Bus Route pamphlets out of the rack and used those to fan herself, and the guy sitting across from me opened … Read more
