bus rules- food

If you ride the bus don't bring your fragrant food with you. It's rude. Even if you think it smells good someone else may not. What if the person next to you is nauseated? You'll have vomit all over you in no time. Eat your breakfast before you get on the bus.

Also, if you decide that your bus food of choice is a peanut butter and jelly bagel that has jelly oozing out from all sides you're an idiot and don't you dare touch the hand rail.

the bus

A couple days ago, a young man got on the bus with a large bundle attached to his front. When he sat next to me I noticed that the bundle was actually a week old infant. As I watched I noticed that the young man and the child where staring staring into each other's eyes. Without breaking the gaze he would shield the baby's head or rock it gently back and forth. I was mesmerized. It warmed my heart to see a man my age, presumably a new father, being so attentive to his child. A little credit is given.

I think one day I'll just ride the transit all day long and write down the interesting things I see. I think it would be a great set of vignettes.
