it's 10:47 AM and it feels like it should be 8 PM. that's because i got to work an A-shift this morning. A-shifts are when you go to the Cambus barn at 6 in the morning and drive a bus until 9 or so. actually, i sort of enjoyed the experience in a perverted way. since i'm almost never awake in the morning, it's a little bit exhilerating to see the sun rising, and to see strange and unfamiliar color contrasts; like the morning sun shining through the unmistakable August haze onto very slightly yellowing leaves. it was eye-opening.
but after a while it got boring, too. Hospital, the route i was driving, is the easiest route that Cambus has, i think. i could do it in my sleep (and very likely was).
last night there was a bat in the Field House! it had gotten into the building by flying into the huge open door by the weight equipment. it must have run into the wall or something, because it was sitting on the floor for a while, and we were looking at it up close. and then it flew up and perched on the wall. it was very cool.
a cop killed a guy in Coralville yesterday. 200 feet away from an elementary school, too. weird stuff. i love the quote from associate superintendant Jim Behle, "the subject was apprehended, or I guess shot."
