Anthropologist


Recent chat on bus. Couple discussing Halloween outfits.
Her: We should wear 80s clothes!
Him: Yeah! Daisy dukes!
Me: Sorry to interfere. Daisy dukes are late 70s.
Her: Really? What is 80s?
Me: Big shoulder pads.
Him: Wow! Awesome! How do you know!?
Me: I'm an anthropologist.
Her: Wow! Really?
Me: No.
Sigh.

Multitasking


The guy behind me on the bus is wearing headphones, singing very loudly, snapping his gum and yelling to someone on the phone. 

Gotta love a man who can multitask so successfully.

Sound advice


A haggard looking man gets on the bus and sits next to me. 

"I sure done a lot of them drugs in that park there yonder". 

Then he looks right at me and adds "Never shoot a firearm in the city of SF, and never have sex with a friend". 

Got it. Thanks.

Dark art



The guy standing next to me at the bus turns to me and says "I favor darker, more depressive expressions of art. It reminds me that life is tenacious, you know?" 

God, I adore San Francisco.

Off to a good start



There is nothing like seeing your bus drive off, running after it waving and screaming and having it stop in the middle of the street just for you to get your day off to an exhilarating start.

Love, bacon and chocolate


My bus driver is singing "I just died in your arms tonight" full force, and the woman sitting next to me is having bacon chocolate for breakfast. 

I love this city.
