Fresh Paint

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 8:28 a.m.

The Berwyn station had "Fresh Paint" signs on it again. This is the fourth time in the past month. There appears to be painting going on frequently at my station yet I never see painters or things that appear to be painted. It feels like a big tease game like if someone put a sign on something that said "Don't Touch This" and then sees how many people touch it.

There was a woman who was talking loudly on her cell phone about the problems with her selling and buying a house. The person on the other line got an earful about how awful this process has been for her.

Two men who used to be co-workers ran into each other on the train and proceeded to sit together and catch up. They talked about their current jobs and one man still works for the place they use to work together so there was some gossip catch-up. Typical of these situations, one of the them was more interested in catching up than the other.
