Bus Report #955

This morning, on the 33, the smiley man sat in front of me.

I don't make it a daily practice to stare at people's ears, but I immediately noticed something odd about his. Behind each ear there are four deep creases of skin on either side, between his earlobes and his hairline. I've never noticed that on anyone else before.

Fascinating.

In Potrero, waiting to cross the street, a person with a thin blue blanket draped over their bony shoulders was down on the sidewalk on all fours, scrabbling around on the ground for something that was not there.
