I had this thing I wrote about a guy I met last week, but I forgot the USB drive it was on at home. Lame.
I should take the time to take another cross-country bus ride. You don’t meet many people on the bus between Boston and New York, but when you’re on a bus for three or four days, you definitely encounter some unique individuals.
You know how in some old movies guys get a bus ticket out of town when they get out of prison. Well in some states that’s true, and those guys often want to chat with anyone who’ll listen. You also get a lot of hardcore libertarians, religious fanatics and cult members on long-haul buses, because you can buy tickets with cash and don’t need to show ID.
I don’t have time right now, but remind me to tell you about the time I used my last money to buy a ticket to Miami and a pack of cigarettes, and spent two and a half days on the bus not eating and hanging out in the back seat with an ex-con and this guy who was drunk the whole time.
