The missing bus, and stuff to read
It figures. I make a point of getting up early, so I'll stop missing the bus, so I'll actually be on time for work (early, even!) without having to run from the T stop... and my bus doesn't show up. I know I didn't miss it, because I was out at the stop at 7:20, five minutes before it was supposed to arrive. When the next bus came along at 7:35, it was absolutely packed. Standing room only. usually my bus is nice and empty in the morning. So I could have taken my time drinking my coffee and watching the news, and I could have petted the cat instead of shooing her away, and it wouldn't have made a bit of difference.
I'm actually busy this morning -- the semester begins tomorrow, so we have piles of stuff to do to get ready. So here's some stuff to read, from the fine folks at Salon.com...
Child porn or family photos? Print labs are calling the cops on people for photos of naked kids in the bathtub, and such. Hmmm, I think there are photos like that in just about every family's albums...
And there's a furor going on over an article Dan Savage wrote about volunteering for Gary Bauer's campaign. Personally, I thought the article was funny. But then, I didn't take it anywhere near as seriously as these folks did. What do you think? Send me email!
