Commuter reading

The car is at the body shop all this week, repairing a January accident and furthering my ultimate goal of replacing every major body panel. (Still to go: driver's door, both front fenders, hood and roof. The roof could be tough.)

Which means I am taking the bus to work until the car is back (a week or more, they say.) Fortunately, I got a new issue of ;login: for bus reading. (Not that I lack for books, but a magazine is both more manageable while riding, and more disposable if lost.)

One thing I noticed was the date. Consumer magazines tend to be dated into the future; Runner's World just sent out their April issue. Today, however, on the first day of March, I got the February ;login:. Mmmm, honesty among procrastinators.

I take the bus everyday, as I do not have a car to beat up or crash. Pros: I think I’ve avoided major colds/flu/illness this year because I am exposed every day to small increments of germs and have thus built an immunity. Cons: Stinky people with too much perfume or not enough perfume, junkies on their way to rehab, pretentious business suits on their way to the office.

I’ve found The New Yorker articles are the perfect length: one article per roundtrip.
