I learned today that there is such a thing as a hotologist. Better yet, he rides our bus. If you want to know the value of someones beauty you can just show him a picture and he can tell you within a percent or two just how hot someone is.
But all good things must go south and as we headed east things got ugly and ended in threats of illuminating a fellow bus passenger by cracking his head open with a flash light.
I my self admitted to being a verminologist. Its part of why I ride the bus. I like to study the creatures in their natural habitat. In fact on one bus I rode today the conversation was something like this:
"I am so sick of prisons, I just got done with a 5 year sentence. Where were you incarcerated? Which time. ha ha ha. I've been in gunnison, point of the mountain..... my brother was up there, his name is xxxxxxx oh yeah, I knew him. He had a girl friend xxxxxx yeah, i knew her she had my back ....yeah i was gonna leave town with this girl i was seeing, but when i got out and saw my kids i felt bad cause i hadn't seen them for so long, i want to spend some time with them before their all growed up. i found out my wife is using heroine now. She started with lortabs, then went to Oxycontin, then she went full out. So now I am takin' care of them."
I may poke fun about the vermin thing, but listening to this story really broke my heart. I know there are a lot of kids out there in similar situations. I am glad that this gentleman wants to stay clean and raise his kids.
We ended the morning commute talking about aspartame and ascertain. Which is where Map Maker got the title for his Time Warp post. We were being silly like junior high kids. I think its all that arsenic we drank when we were in Milford.
