This feels like a new number, but don't they all? The moon was setting and occasionally caught glimpses of it getting larger as it went down. It was a reverse harvest moon - very cool.

Today was "Big Man's Day" on the bus. There were three really large men riding - I'm talking 6'4"+ and and easily over 250 lbs. All three had large frames and when all were on at one time, it seemed to fill the bus. The one man was already there when I got on and sat in the front, at an angle letting his oversized backend hang over into the area I usually occupy. He didn't seem interested in moving his large carcass, so I sat at the other side of the seat. I don't really care where I sit, but I didn't appreciate the apparent attitude that he could sprawl all over the bus and people were forced to move around him. I wonder if very large people have a sense about the space they occupy? His leg blocked the aisle and yet when others boarded the bus, he made no attempt to move his leg. Do large people just push their way through life? He really got on my list when his cell phone rang. It was actually funny - the ringtone was a pathetic midi version of "Hall of the Mountain King" - the middle notes were all wrong and it seems that song should be very easy to program - it comes down in thirds, but this missed the mark. When it started to ring he just let it go - waited through the whole ring before he answered - WTF? Then, of course, his voice was loud - with his size would we expect soft-spoken? He was quite chatty and went on for several minutes - more rudeness. The final act was hilarious - he was wearing sweats and when his turn came to get off the bus, he stood up in the middle of the aisle, paused a moment, then made a large deal of pulling his pants up. Perhaps it wasn't a large deal, just seemed like it due to his overall largeness - hard to miss the act. It was such a geeky move - he walked off looking like PeeWee Herman on steroids. Very entertaining.
