the one where I missed it by that much

so…I missed my train by 30, 35 seconds. It’s not a huge deal — sure I want to home, but I didn’t think I was going to make it, and there is another train in 20 minutes.

And I’m entertained:

I’m watching the people on the Fitchburg Express get jerked around. First they were all on the train on track 9. Then all had to get off the train and go to track 8. Then, back to track 9. All 700+ of them. And they all felt the need to run, each way, each time. It’s not like the train was going to leave without them. I mean, that would be kind of funny…

Popcorn.

If you’re going to eat popcorn on the train, you should bring enough for everyone.

    I’ve offered popcorn I bought at the Harvard Sq. station for the bus ride home to watertown. It’s a big plentiful back for $1.50. I once offered it to fellow rider in my proximity……they looked at me as though I put razor blades and cyanide in it. Their loss…..it was salty and delicious.
