Morning

Nothing unusual to report—another quiet morning.

Afternoon

The only unusual thing was that as I was coming home, I was standing in line for the subway. I was a bit farther back in line than I wanted to be, but thought I might squeeze in. As the line started to move forward, I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to make it, so I stepped out of line to allow anyone else who wanted to try to squeeze on to go for it. Picture about a dozen people trying to squeeze through a set of double doors at the same time, and somehow, they were doing it. But the weirdest thing was that the subway attendant was pushing the entire mob from behind to help them all squeeze in. What the heck? And, they all made it—I was the only one standing on the dock as the subway pulled away. Even more incredible!
