Holiday

Today is the celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday and many places must be shut down today. How do I know? It's because almost everyone on the train has their own double seat to themselves, when usually it's standing room only by now.

One oddity being a business woman got on and passed up a guy in a suit, me, a teen reading a kindle and an old lady napping to sit next to a gritty, homeless guy who had to move his garbage bag of clothes so she could sit down.

Oddly enough, I am only noticing that she picked the person who was most inconvenienced by her needing a seat, and it just seemed extra weird. She is reading her own book now when I thought she might engage him in conversation.

I want to go back to bed now.
