spare the air

it's a funny thing seeing people at the bart station paying for bart tickets, when bart is free.. you'd think they'd have station agents at the ticket paystations telling people that bart is free.. but these people are lazy.. or maybe it's entertainment to them..

i also like it when people don't realize that they are entering a moving machine that will throw them off balance when it starts to move.. conversely people that forget to hold on to something when the train is coming to a stop also amuse me..

this is something that i remember seeing on bart.. i shoulda put it down somewhere because i almost completely forgot it.. i was riding home on bart one day.. towards daly city, pilipinas-land.. and i spot this old white man reading a book.. curious to know what old white men are reading these days, i focus on the book cover and what do you know?.. it's not a book but a english-to-tagalog dictionary.. i try not to judge the man but i can't help but just stare at him and wonder why he needs to know tagalog..

maybe he's training for the world tagalog speaking championships for old white men..
