~Wednesday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus instead of the 8:15, walking up to the stop at 7:50 just as the bus approached the intersection near my stop. I immediately replayed my last couple of minutes in my house thinking, “If I would’ve done just one more thing before coming out here, I would have … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride. Still in exam week, the ridership was sparse, with about 15 people aboard. Three people were attached to ear buds and playing with gadgets, two people were studying class notes, one girl pretty much slept sitting upright … Read more
~Wednesday~ It’s been a while since I’ve caught the 8:15 city bus, which used to be my “routine,” and this morning a couple was at the stop when I arrived. They were an African-American couple, whom from their conversation, which was impossible to not overhear (not that I would try to not overhear it even … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Monday~ We were up at 8:30, with a targeted departure time from the Island House of 9:30 to get to the airport for our 10:50 flight to Miami. However, shortly after being up I noticed on my calendar that our flight was not at 10:52, but 11:52. We used the found time to slow … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus. One of Xolani’s dollar bills did not cooperate with the fare machine, and eventually the bus driver took it and made it work. The Right-hand Rule Lady was on board, whom I haven’t seen in forever. It’s been so long that you might … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I rode the bus together this morning. It was running a little behind, arriving at our stop closer to 7:30 than 7:20. Li’l Dino boarded at her stop and she said hello to me while touching my shoulder as she passed me. Cell Phone Lady boarded at her regular stop and she … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in again this morning. I think it’s time the seats on the university buses take a lesson from what had to be done at Disneyland to the boats that take riders through It’s a Small World. The seats on the buses are way too narrow to … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which a young, female student studied, what looked like, vocabulary words, using flashcards. Word on the front, definition on the back. I noticed yellow highlighting in some of the definitions when the cards were flipped. I didn’t realize they still made 3×5 … Read more
~Thursday~ I continue to notice house ads on the bus, and this morning four out of the five (on the city) bus were house ads—two (of the same) ads for a temporary detour coming up for the 7C route, and two (of the same ad) for an upcoming public hearing about proposed fare policy changes. … Read more
