I need to work again oh well, in the mean time I can post all my sightings
hope in the face of racism
Ok, on TRAX there was a group, a kid of mixed race, if I had to guess I'd say European of some sort and Hispanic with his uncle who was full hispanic and a friend who looked to be euromutt. They're all talking and laughing when an older gentleman got on the train and made a comment "i can't believe a pure blood that young is being corrupted by those filthy people"... of course everyone else on the train was
a lady who I assume is his wife comes on behind him and tells them "don't worry, he's just bitter that you'll live longer than him, and considering you aren't being held back by any backwards attitudes you'll probably live a happier life too"
so yes, even though the guy was a jack ass the wife almost made up for it.
same group as before
the only advice I would add to what the older lady said to these kids is, wear an effin belt... and failing that don't be surprised when you are trying to show off by doing pull ups with the grab bar your pants fall down... yes, this may be a surprise to you but gravity does work on the train much the same as it does everywhere else on this planet.
yay, one more on my easter egg hunt
Would you believe that the community college requires a tax return to determine how much I pay for tuition... sadly the person at the IRS knew exactly why I was there when I asked for a copy of my return.
we as a valley should take this is a compliment
OK, so to get out to the IRS I took the 550 bus, I boarded at SL Central... there was a german couple that got on the bus, they were of course confused by the whole "pay as you exit" thing with buses leaving downtown... but while we were riding they commented about how the buses were so much more comfortable than back home... so yes, Salt Lake has done something transit related better than Europe... that is something to be proud of.
kinda a self sighting
this is a sign that I should go into town more often... have any of you gone somewhere that you used to go to all the time but hadn't been in a while. Well on the way back home I took a different bus than normal that goes along the north side of Temple Square rather than the west side... and there was a new building on North Temple... and I don't mean like a small restaurant or convenience store... no I mean a huge ass 3 story tall marble sided building... it was like "holy shit, where did that come from"
yayness, downtown rising is coming along
and is it huge, I saw the work on City Creek, they are working on the superstructure of the parking garage, 3 levels covering 2 city blocks... I now know why that whole thing will take 4 years to finish. This of course has nothing to do with sightings but I thought it was really cool.
kinda scary
eta- I'm doing laundry tonight... my roommate changed the water level and temp settings on my washer... and somehow despite the fact that I didn't notice until after my load was done... the clothes still came out clean... so much for my OCD concerning the water level and temp on my laundry (ftr, I prefer highest water level and coldest setting)
