The First Library Trip
Sep. 28th, 2010 02:59 pmMy first library trip went well enough. Via got new busses over the summer. Nice seats. Narrow seats, especially for fatty San Antonio, but they look and feel like a definite upgrade. And they didn’t even raise the fares - yet. I actually had to ask a fellow passenger how to signal the driver to stop, since there are no pull cords. Then, walking to the library, I see that they have finally finished putting up the buildings on Soledad Street. It feels like I have been gone for two or three years rather than one passing summer. Sometimes I get a little dizzy over how fast time spins.
As for my chicken fried rice, I suffered a real scare, that my restaurant was shut down, after all. I was mistaken, though I see its seriously truncated hours, open only from ten until two. Did they give up the dinner trade? The place is obviously struggling, and I regret not having a friend to bring with me for lunch, if not a party of four or five. The hostess looks like she is in mourning when I pay my meager ten dollars for my simple meal, and I feel a little guilty.
