Don't feel too self-conscious about drinking a root beer on a bus at 10 am because:

Today, among other things that happened, a man, on the way to campus, took out a container of vaseline on the bus. He had been sitting down politely enough and wasn't someone you'd expect to do something gross or outrageous. His hair was short and thinning. He was youngish and wore glasses. He sat calmly. Then he put about two tablespoons of that greasy stuff onto a finger, dipping and redipping it into the full size tub, and then he rubbed it into his hands. Oh god did he rub it into his hands. Two Muslim women sitting across from him stopped looking at their own hands and starting looking at his. They just stared, and kept right on staring. The blonde woman in a red raincoat sitting next to them didn't see the grotesque show right across from her. She was looking at her own lap. When he was done rubbing it in, his hands looked slick and reflective. I watched as he got off the bus, so conscious of his hands and what poles he might reach for to support himself. None of us who saw him touched those same poles. Our own hands were pressed a little unusually tightly to our sides. All our lips turned down at the corners just the slightest.

I took out my bike, too small and deflated, but anyway I felt all better immediately.

Bikes should be prescribed by doctors.
