You know what kind of day it's going to be when a lady in apple suit greets you at work.

The conversation with the homeless guy at the bus stop this morning defies description.

Then the bus driver says in a carnival voice: "We are now in the free ride area..." *beat* "... welcome to the Twilight Zone."

As he approached 5th Avenue he announced: "Next stop... 5th Avenue... Macy's, Nordstrom's... consumer heaven... the Frye Apartment guy."*

On my way to the office, a woman dressed as an apple handed me gift certificate for free ice cream.

This is really my kind of day.



* For Non-Seattlites: The Frye Apartment guy is a beloved fixture. He holds up a mysterious sign that says (among other things) the Frye Apartments and the Seattle police are the devil, and yells incoherently with a Carribbean accent. He has been there every day, all day, since at least 1997. Everyone knows he has a place to live, but his quest for vengeance on the Frye Apartment is legendary.

Is that the guy on fifth right near Westlake?

And have you ever seen the guy with the dreads and the Rasta hat and the stick who likes to stand in the intersection of 3rd and...Union, I think, and bang the stick on the ground and tell us we're all sinners for not being in church? Sunday only, I think.

Also, I think I know that bus driver. He's GREAT.

Yep. Right at 5th and Pine. I haven't seen the Rasta guy, but that's because I'm in church.

Just kidding. I'm usually home writing, if I'm even awake at that hour.

You know, I mentioned it to someone at work and he knew that bus driver, too.
