Sleepy behind the wheel
The best bus stories are told in the garages where drivers swap tales. Perhaps there is a shared need to confirm that each is not the only one experiencing some of the strangeness that occurs out there. One day there was a discussion of getting sleepy while behind the wheel. John mentioned that he was once stopped at the railroad tracks on West Seventh. “I looked up and the train was passing, I looked up again and it was long gone.” Booker said, “I was stopped at the light on Snelling and University when I dozed off. A woman tugged my sleeve and said the light was green and I could go. I tried to play it off by saying I was reading my paddleboard [schedule]. She asked if I snored when I read.

Ah yes Lindemann I know thee well. I was there with you that day. Remember me? The Bruegger’s lady you drove past several times that very same week. You should have told the woman you were growling.
