My drive in this morning

My drive to work is usually an uneventful 6 minutes through the 'Tosa village. There is always the occasional person in a big hurry so they drive like a maniac, maybe a train going by or a parked delivery truck at one of the restaurants that inevitably messes up the social order, but pretty much the same each day. As was today, though I just had to mention that as I was passing the Harwood-Harmonee-Kavanaugh intersection, there was this person sitting Indian-style on the sidewalk waiting for the bus. She was probably my age, but was very skinny, stringy shoulder-length brown hair, all light blue clothing, big (like Coke-bottle sized) glasses, staring aimlessly into space sucking (literally sucking) on a cigarette. Maybe you had to see it, but it seriously looked like this girl was a character you'd see in Men in Black or something. I just thought it was amusingly disturbing. Ah, the people you see at bus stops in a (semi) urban area...
