BTW. I took the subway to the Chiropractor at lunch. 3 short stops but a wealth of experiences:
-Slow train due to signal work (at lunch hour on a WEEKDAY ? really ? ) causing 3 mins delay
-A beggar inside the subway car. Well behaved, but sorry - no. That's out of bounds. The nice young lady politely ignored him
-Some high school lesbians maybe playing hooky. When another cute girl got on the train I put my eyes on the more aggressive looking one, and sure enough she checked out the new girl thoroughly.
People are so predictable.
- In the middle of downtown I happened to run into a lady who is actually on my team. Very restrained and quiet person. She was outdoors, and as McLuhan said Canadians are the only people who go outside to be alone. She was dangling her purse and twirling her hair as she leaned against a building at Yonge and Queen. Quite a character study.
- Hint: if you are heading down to a platform on stairs or escalator and you hear there's a train down there, try to determine which side the people are coming up the stairs from. It might make it worthwhile to run for the train if it's the right one.
