How do you know they’re not talking to somebody?

And just for the record, when ever someone comes to the door when I’m alone at home, or I’m waiting at a bus stop or walking down the street alone late at night, or I’m stuck in an elevator (lift) with a very scary looking person I pull out my cell phone and pretend I’m talking to someone who can hang up, dial 911, and tell the police I’m being attacked if that happens to me.
That seems to be a popular ploy. I’ve noticed a lot of people doing that when I’m in elevators with them.

I may have to think about this for a while.

A dark, lonely elevator, late at night; a lone lamb, dressed up in black leather, all rivets and zippers, out for a wild night on the town, eying me intensely from deep shadows on the other side of this impossibly small little, moving cubicle …
“Bob, is that you? How’s it going? Yes … yes … well, thirty years isn’t all that long, is it?”

Martin Milner:It’s a shame that “bus people” have to be ghetto people.
I kept telling myself that “these people are truly Jesus,” in an attempt to love them more, but myself told me right back “you’re afraid of some of them anyway,” and that had some deep inner consequences.
That does seem a dangerous road to travel.
Oh well. A weekish later I think that it wasn’t as big a deal to everybody else as it was to me, and that makes me feel a little better. I was just listening to everything being said, and most other people probably weren’t, so they just stared at me weirdly.
I’m sure they were more startled that you’d been listening than anything.
