~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
~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
~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
~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
~Tuesday~ I woke up to some sort of stomach virus this morning, and I decided that I’d rather be in the bathroom every 10 minutes in the privacy of my own home than at work. I sent an e-mail to my boss asking if I could work from home today, saying if not, then I’d … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up at 5:20, left my house at 5:30, and picked up Joe at 5:45 for an airport delivery of his body to the US Airway terminal for yet another trip to Pennsylvania to address family issues. Back home, I had a quick breakfast, and brewed four cups of coffee while I made … Read more
~Thursday~ Another one of the “Let’s Get Loud” riders was on today. I don’t think I’ve officially given this woman a name, but she talks loud and constantly. I’d never noticed her getting off at my stop before, but that’s what she did today. She walked in front of me and the back of her black … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today’s buscapade seating chart: Today I sat toward the back of the bus as you can see. As I made my way to my seat, I noticed Other Man leaning forward with his forehead resting on the seatback in front of him, so that I only saw the top of his head—his hair, not … Read more
~Wednesday~ I read on the bus on the way in. Uneventful. For the bus home, I was joined at the bus stop in front of the SECU by the “Genetics-Studying Lady” and her adorable little daughter. I haven’t seen them for a while, but these are the two about whom I’ve said before that I’ve … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy morning, and did a couple of loads of laundry, the second one being my sheets. I look forward to fresh, clean, soft ones tonight! I met Robert at 4:00 at his sister and her husband’s farm out in Orange County, where we enjoyed three hours of a very interesting collection … Read more
