On the 2 today, knitting. An older lady gets on at Nicollet and sits next to me. She is wearing headphones, and we acknowledged each other as I rearranged my giant coat in order for her to have room.

'Round about Chicago (for you non-locals, that's 3/4 of a mile, or about 15 minutes on the route 2 bus), she shouts, "I haven't seen someone knitting in ages!" Looking straight ahead of her the whole time.

Holy crap, lady, are you talking to me? Did you just notice what I was doing? Also, do you realize that my ear is less than two feet from your shout?

Woo. You know, I may have been wearing my bright orange not-even-hip-hop-hip down jacket, and my trousers don't really fit that well over my long johns, but I'm glad for all that looking like an idiot. Why?

Because I spent over an hour of my day today outside standing around, waiting for busses. This was made even better by the so-full-they-can't-let-more-people-on-even-after-they've-let-people-off that drove past. Then, when I finally got on a bus, it took half an hour to go three blocks.

What people need to realize is that the snow may be scary, but they should be much more scared of *me*.
