this and that

This will be a follow-up on an earlier posting, as well as something new.

 

Jean, the subject of a previous blog, was just given a present from Pierce Transit of a fishing rod and reel, to mark her 30^th year of service.  At the party someone showed her my blog about her.  Her husband joked that he recognized the picture of his wife, but not my written description. At least he must have been joking, since no lawyer has yet shown up with a libel suit. She was going to try out here new fishing gear this past sunny weekend , but the motor of the boat she was going to use didn’t cooperate, so I haven’t heard any fish stories yet from her.

 

 

In addition to my favorite driver Jean, let me say thank-you, before this BlogSpot goes out of business, to the wonderful women who work in glassed-in environment of the Bus Shop by the waterfalls on Commerce.  St. It’s there you can go for the next month’s pass or tickets, as well as bus change, schedule information, lost-and-found, etc. They have been invariably helpful, cheerful and efficient, except when their computers are balky, for which they will keep apologizing. And when, as happened not long ago, someone ii a car came by and snatched my book bag on the bus stop bench while I was looking in the other direction., they have been very sympathetic and solicitous.  One of these women, and one who has been especially helpful, is Laurel, who lives across the street of Professor T.T and his wife, with whom we share a mutual acquaintance/   So we chat about our UPS connections whenever I’m in the Shop and no one else is in the waiting line.  In a way, a kind of impromptu town and gown get-together,
