~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Saturday~ I met Patrick Barclay for lunch at noon at The Diner. We had good conversation, and a good brunch once our ham and cheese omelets were whisked away and our actual-ordered three-cheese omelets arrived. They had a shortage of pens there, and to that end they grabbed ours just as soon as we finished … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were only two people on the bus when I boarded this morning, and one of them had a scowl on her face, as if she were unhappy to be riding the bus. It made me think about my attitude about riding the bus. I really enjoy it. However, I don’t have to ride … Read more
~Monday~ Another rare occurrence sharing my bus stop with another person, or in today’s case, other people. An African-American couple, he with a pair of ladies hosiery, either beige, nude or tan I’d guess, wrapped around his head, and she with a pair of shiny, black vinyl boots with rainbow-colored polka dots all over them. … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Saturday~ Today was quite the affirming day with regards to communications with my relatives, and by the end of it, I was able to articulate the final arrangements for my aunt’s funeral, which I’m posting here for posterity: There is going to be a mass on Wednesday, 02/10/10, starting at 10:00. Mom, Dad, and I … Read more
~Saturday~ This morning the much touted, and profusely reported, blanket of white was on the ground. Now, in 2015, all of the major weather forecasters will be bragging about how they “nailed the one of 2010.” I didn’t mention in yesterday’s entry that I parked my car out of my townhouse area, down on Kaplan … 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
~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
~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
