Dear Lady Crossing Herself on the Bart Train,

I first noticed you cross yourself right before the train took off, and then I noticed you do it again at each and every stop. Were you afraid of something, or is this just your normal ritual? Is this just in case vampires turn up on the train? Because I really don’t think vampires would ride this train. They would just fly or run fast, or do whatever it is that vampires do to get there faster than the Bart Train. I mean, wouldn’t you if you were a vampire?

Oh wait, were you crossing yourself in case there were chubacabra?  I don’t think there have been any reports down here. You’re probably safe without the crossing. There haven’t been any werewolf reports either.

And if it’s not vampires, werewolves, or chubacabras, then what it is? Why are you crossing yourself at every single station? Why are you crossing yourself and making me paranoid that something is going to happen? Do you think the train is going to crash if you don’t cross yourself at the station we will all die? I’m not totally sure that’s true.

Although, if you have a weird Heroes power where you can see the future and crossing yourself changes the path fo fate, then who am I to judge? If this is the case, then please continue crossing yourself, I’m not really ready to die. And if this isn’t the case, then can you tell me why? What are you so afraid of?

Thanks for your time.

Dear Comic Book Reading Lady at the Bottom of the Montgomery Bart Escalator,

Hey there, it's me Sabrina. No, not Sabrina the teenage witch from the comic book you were reading, but Sabrina the gal who got stuck behind you because you were reading in a totally illogical place.

And since we’ve brought it up, can I ask why you were standing there to begin with? Who stops at the bottom of an escalator and says, “Why yes. This is actually an amazing place to stop and read.”  You were at the bottom of a busy escalator during rush hour. There were loads of people being forced to register that you were in the way, and then try to find a way around you.  And it’s not like the platform was so crowded that there was no where else to stand. I mean, it's a pretty large platform.

So tell me, why did you stand there? Was the lighting better? Was there a slight breeze? Do you like irritating other people? Was it that you recognized someone around the corner and you did not want them to see you reading a children’s comic book? Actually, on second thought I know that can’t be the reason. I know this because you were so engrossed in your comic book that you didn’t even notice that people were practically bumping into you. If you can’t notice this, then I’m sure you wouldn’t notice someone else seeing you. And you sure didn't notice when I stopped and took your picture.

You know, I have to admit, I have never seen anyone quite as engrossed in a comic book as you were. Is it that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is actually a hidden literary gem that demands your total attention? If this is the case, can you please let us know what issue it is? I say we all hunt it down and start a book club discussion on it. Maybe once I see how amazing it is, I will finally understand why you were standing there blocking an escalator.

But until then, I suggest you keep on moving.

Sorry for the poor pic, but on my way home today, I noticed that the silver-painted man was coming home from a hard day of standing around  acting like a statue for tourists.

I would have taken his pic up close, but he seemed exhausted, and besides that's what he does all day. I mean would you want someone to come up to you and do your job during off hours?

I'm not sure if you can tell, but I think the woman in the green is absolutely terrifying. She's on my Bart train and her face has been in this holy crap, I am going to die expression for the last three stops. I keep looking at her and wondering if perhaps she has inside knowledge on something. Or even worse, I keep wondering what's in that bag of hers. Also, she's shifty-eyed, and we all know that your trustworthiness scale is directly affected by your shifty-eyedness. Although, maybe I'm overreacting and maybe she's just jacked up on meth?
