Bus Stories: BUS STORY # 444 (A Foolish Thing)
http://bus-stories.blogspot.com/2015/05/bus-story-444-foolish-thing.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. BUS STORY # 444 (A Foolish Thing). It’s just past noon when my bus comes. I board, and there’s only one other person on the bus. And he’s sitting in - I laugh to myself - my seat. I take the seat across the aisle. He looks over, smiles, then asks if I’m just starting my day. I tell him I’ve been up a good while. I’ve been up since six, he says. I ask where he’s been. He points to the collar of his white dress shirt. Court. There’s a pause, then:. So what’s next, I ask. I think about...

Bus Stories: April 2007
http://bus-stories.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2007. BUS STORY # 30 (Too Old To Chase The Dragon). I was waiting for the Yale bus back to the office after a morning meeting downtown. The sun was still low enough that I chose to stand in the parking lot behind the bus stop bench to catch the shade of the tree next to the bench. A woman was sitting on the bench. Before long, a guy approached the bench. She seemed to recognize him and called out, Hey, how are you? Wanna buy me a beer? Wanna buy me a beer? Had he ever tried AA? 10 years...

Bus Stories: BUS STORY # 445 (Portrait # 28: Honeymoon)
http://bus-stories.blogspot.com/2015/05/bus-story-445-portrait-28-honeymoon.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. BUS STORY # 445 (Portrait # 28: Honeymoon). The bus is pretty empty for this hour, but up front are two kids on the way to school with their dad. The kids are little, maybe two years apart, maybe kindergarden and second grade. They’re in T-shirts and shorts, carrying skateboards and wearing helmets. The younger boy’s helmet has a friendly shark’s face on it, with a dorsal fin on top. The older boy takes his turn. I can see his face and it says he’s loving having his dad to hug o...

Sunday, April 05, 2015. BUS STORY # 439 (Nighthawk At The Bus Stop). We’ve been sitting on the bench waiting for the bus for a few quiet minutes, me reading, him checking out the contents of his plastic grocery bag, when a fire engine comes blaring around the corner. We watch it go by and on up the street. One of these days, I’m gonna call 911, he says. Um What would you be calling 911 for? Well, first, I gotta get their number. We talk about the weather ( Ain’t it glorious? I ask what he did. He repeats...

Bus Stories: February 2007
http://bus-stories.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. BUS STORY # 23 (Willa’s Bus Stories # 1 and 2). Like any veteran bus rider, Willa has her stories. Her first story is about a woman who boards the bus and then stands in the aisle scanning the passengers until she spots a male sitting by himself. She moves to the seat beside him and starts talking to him. Eventually, she works the conversation around to the question Do you have a girl friend? Oh, she’s not on drugs. She’s schizophrenic. How do you know that? Links to this post.

Bus Stories: BUS STORY # 437 (Go Catch It!)
http://bus-stories.blogspot.com/2015/03/bus-story-437-go-catch-it.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. BUS STORY # 437 (Go Catch It! A photo by busboy4. I watch them board. She’s a big woman with white hair and a walker. He’s a skinny guy in a baseball cap with veteran across the front, and he’s wearing those old aviator-style sunglasses. She takes a seat in the front row on the driver’s side, then directs him to the bench seat in front of her. He has another idea, but she cuts him short and directs him to the bench seat. He takes it. The 5 pulls away. He does, and they do. I start...
