No aluminum foil hat

This happened today. A woman got on an eastbound trip at 4th and Nicolett. She was middle-aged, plump and wearing a few too many scarves. She said she wanted to get to Kellogg, in St. Paul. It turned out she wanted to go to Kellogg and John Ireland. I asked her what place she was going to and she said the Minnesota Historical Center. This was different from just going to Kellogg. I explained how she should go downtown and transfer to a 21. She seemed to need everything repeated two or three times and was busy writing it in a little note pad. A little odd, but odd things happen on a bus.

She was sitting directly across the aisle from me and as we approached Como and 15th she let it be known that, “People are always stalking me. They use their cell phones to harrass me and tell where I am. There’s a woman on her cell phone right now. She’s on her way to St. Paul and she’s giving my position away to whoever she’s talking to.” After a pause she went on, “My sister died last year. She never hurt anyone in her life. I was harassed by a person in California. The restraining order was too late.”

When we got to Como and Eustis she asked if she could wait there and catch the next bus. She certainly could, I told her, and she got off. No doubt giving the slip to the conspiritors who track her with their cell phones. I looked but could detect no sign that she was wearing an aluminum foil hat to deflect mind control rays.
