Monday September 11, 2017 – more funny stuff observed or overheard on the bus!
Oct 13. I have been traveling in to town on freeway with hubby for many days but today, I am back on bus. Chinese lady that used to sit by me did so again. Then guy in front of me got off and who should come but another Chinese lady to sit in front of us. She took off her coat and is relaxing on the seat, mindless of crowded bus. She is now telling other one some amazing story, they are both laughing and intensely talking. I think she’s on to her 2nd or 3rd story now. I am in a tiny Chinese bubble.
Oct 14 Today on bus again, listening to a lot of a drum band via the generous young lady next to me who’s got her ear buds plugged into her phone . Later in post: I actually do too (hate it) and I want to “be a mom” and tell her she should get her hearing checked as she might have a hearing loss!
November 9, 2016 I’ve been reading mysteries by Louise Penny, all based in Canada, and one of the towns in her stories is Cowansville. Cowan is a family name so I was googling it to see what if any places are named Cowan. I found Cowan Lake State Park in Ohio!
November 9, 2016 Yesterday there was a young Asian woman on bus who’d dyed her hair the color that I, in high school, wanted desperately to change! I thought it to be a mousy color, and now someone has chosen that color lol
November 10, 2016 Just saw a fog bank covering the river with the yellow sunrise and mountains above! I hope same photographers get shots of it and share.
November 16, 2016 – Last seat available on the bus has a large wet spot. Hmmmm, is is water? Or something else? Maybe I’ll stand. Later post in same thread: But I got glares from other patrons on the bus because I wouldn’t sit down on that seat. Later, I’d gotten another place further back and noticed a lady sat down in the wet seat and jumped right back up.
Nov 22 Someone just came in the main door eating french fries. I love french fries! Good thing I already ate my lunch, or I’d be tempted to go beg. Plus, don’t need the calories
November 22 had to give up reading on the bus tonight because the woman driver has a jerky touch with the breaks. I feel queasy now …
Feb 7 I was on the Tram at OHSU earlier. Suddenly I heard a female voice, “Jacob and Hannah?! Where are you?!” I have a niece and nephew with those same names. What a coinqedink! As my mother would have said.
