"Riding on the bus, playing games with the faces,
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy,
I said, 'Be careful, his bow-tie is really a camera'"

Paul Simon, "America"


Obviously, people watching is a long time-horored tradition...

I have a scheduled lab run that takes me in beside the ER of a local hospital. While I don't have time to linger, the people watching opportunities are popping up in front of me all the time, sometimes amusing, like the hefty braless woman walking briskly away with her bf maintaining a safe distance behind her, sometimes sad, like the woman who passed me in the hall with red eyes & running mascara...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

Yes'm - whenever I have time on my hands at the airport or train station. You just KNOW there has to be a story behind these people in transit.
