BUScapades

Scene at the bus stop this morning: older lady, I'd peg her at 75ish, with cane (though surprisingly spry!), smoke in gloved hand, dilligently ridding the sidewalk of cigarette butts with her cane by flicking them into the street. I find this "Blog worthy" as it's the second woman of the same demographic I've seen doing this at this particular stop.

BUSercise

Who needs exercise when you ride the later bus in the morning and you have to stand due to lack of seats?
I call it bus surfing. Great workout for both core (balancing for stops and starts) and legs. Not to mention running to make the connecting bus..

It's only 830 and I'm already sore and tired and I don't start at the actual gym until tomorrow.

Let me tell you about the bus stop today. A woman walks up to the bus shelter, less than 2 feet from a large concrete cigarette disposal, and flicks the lit smoke in her hand onto the ground. I'm pretty sure I gave her a dissapproving look. She sits in the shelter (it's a nice sunny day) yelling at me. Luckily I am wearing my headphones (Evanescence today). Then she hustles herself to the front of the bus line holding her bus ticket out ready to embark....only to stop and question the driver thus holding up the line of people she just cut in front of.

I can only hope she has some mental disorder that would account for this boorish behaviour.

How do you, as a voluptuous woman yourself, tell the larger woman in your bus seat that she is sitting partially on your right leg and elbowing you when she digs around in her purse for her book? You know....without being rude.

Correction

Seems, in a sleepy heater induced haze this morning, I said I felt like a NAKED potato. What I had intended to say was BAKED potato.

Kind of changes the context of the previous post and makes it slightly less creepy.....zombies and all.

It's mid-September and the weatherman says -7 today. I hear they are talking windchill....just mere weeks ago they were talking humidex. Sigh...
So, it's cool this morning but not cold by any means and the bus heaters are running full bore! I feel like a naked potato. It's making the passengers look like zombies. Which, I suppose, is somewhat appropriate considering my brain has been "singing" Thriller" since I woke up.
