It is my weekend but I won't be posting much to the blog. I have a bad cold at the moment; I have some overtime classes to teach both evenings; and so I am using all my available free time to rest. I don't know how to do an extended agghhh!! and whine in prose. And I don't want to.
Mission Accomplished?
Taking the bus, I saw a man, with some sort of chest or throat problem, open the window and stick his head there out. He did this right in front of me, so I couldn't help but see him. I thought he was going to vomit but he didn't, instead he looked like he was trying to spit or retch -- making the whole opening the window bit seem inexplicable. In my mind's eye, I also imagined him being decapitated by a truck coming close to the bus. After two minutes, he put his head back in and patted his chest for the benefit of an acquaintance who had a bandaged eye. The bus was full of invalids!! I suppose the man and his friend were going to the hospital, or coming back from it.
