The squabblers, the prayer and the shoveler
Sights seen on a cold January Red Line. . . .
First: A middle-aged couple sitting together, arguing about something inconsiderate he has said to her. He's kinda laughing, his arm around her, trying to talk her out of being mad. She wants nothing of it, saying one moment that she's not talking to him anymore, and the next moment continuing to berate her. This goes on for many stops, till they get off together at Fullerton, and escorts her on to the Brown Line, where no doubt the same discourse continues.
Second: On the same car, a middle-aged woman audibly mouths her prayers from Argyle to Grand.
Third: On the return trip home, a 40-ish woman boards at Clark and Division carrying a large, red snow shovel. Making me wonder whether I had missed some dire winter storm warning.
