Sights seen on the Red Line
A gorgeous young (early 20s) Asian couples quizzing each other on Spanish vocabulary flash cards. Perhaps a trip to Madrid is coming up?
Later, one guy warns another guy that he has shaving cream remnants on the side of his face near his left ear. The guy frantically starts rubbing his right ear until he's corrected. Then he exits the train feverishly rubbing his left ear.
An elderly woman sits fast asleep in the aisle. The young guy wearing earbuds sitting next to her by the window stands up to exit, waiting for her to move. But apparently he doesn't realize she is sleeping. He stands there awkwardly waiting about five seconds after the doors had already opened. She didn't budge from her sweet slumber. Finally he taps her knee, she jumps, and he runs for the now closing door. But he makes it.
Later in the ride, the same woman is reviewing her medical exam referral documents. One say: "Breast ultrasound -- urgent."
I hope she's OK.
I've recently made it a pastime to email a friend with descriptions of the people and activities around me on my commutes. I'll see if I can round up a few and post them on the "Crazy commuting tales" thread. As I told her, one reason I don't read during my commute is that there's just too much entertainment going on.

Why isn't the "gorgeous asian couple" identified as "chad and trixie"?
