Franklin & Hennepin: Hummer with anti-Bush bumper sticker. Yeah, right.

Tonight, I picked up a woman who decided to stand in the way of the door rubbing her eye for way longer than is appropriate or polite. Finally, she told me that her transfer had just expired and that she was wondering if she could still use it. I looked at the printed time, noted that it was exactly an hour and forty eight minutes expired, and told her, "No, this is two hours old." She said "It's only an hour and a half!" I started to drive off when she found her seat, and she yelled at me for moving while she was still standing.

Later a guy asked me "Is this Southdale?" I replied, "No, not yet." He had asked earlier if the bus went to Southdale Mall. He said "That's what I needed, thanks," and ran down the stairs.

So what's with the loud opera they pipe outside Block E now? Is it supposed to make the shootings more Italian-American in feel? It appears that the response of the local governments' to last month's random shooting of a white guy was to add the number of officers patrolling the area. Except instead of having two or three man posses walking the beat and keeping an eye on the entire area at once, they walk around clustered in one very large fourteen-man gang. I don't know about anybody else, but a gang of armed hoods is a gang of armed hoods, badges or not.
