back to new york, back to public transportation, back to the crazies. today on the train i started reading the book of the dude next to me over his shoulder (per usual) and discovered that it was a bomb building book (obvi). so now i know how to make a drano reefer bomb. and i know that if you want a big explosion, you gotta put it in water. and i know that if you are in jail, this means putting it in the toilet. fantastic!!!! so then i gave him a solid once over: no backpack, no loose fitting clothing that could easily conceal dynamite, and no suspicious looking friends lurking nearby. i must have freaked out the girl across from me because she started checking him out, too. then we both got off at the next stop. not sure if it was her stop, but it sure as hell was not mine.

Dear Diary:
It was one of the hottest days of the summer, with the thermometer approaching the 100-degree mark. I was grateful to be in a cool city bus with my daughter, traveling down Fifth Avenue from 80th Street.
The bus was getting more crowded, with a number of people standing.
At one stop, right after a very pregnant woman came aboard, the driver made the following announcement:
“If someone does not get up and give this woman a seat by the next stop, I will turn off the air-conditioning.”
Someone immediately got up and offered this most appreciative woman her seat.
