On the way home

On the BART
The tough-looking gangster-dressed guy in front of me was reading "A Guide for the Ghetto"
Chapter: "How to Hustle and Win"
A crucial, bolded point from the book: "You ain't worth sh*t if your word ain't worth sh*t"

At the bus stop
Two couples making out, both extremely passionately. Big lady dancing nearby starts meandering over and then whispers "they should go get a room"; Me: "no it's ok"

Man nearby the stop, who I found was named Edward Brown, told me a Greek myth, among other things, about a man (don't remember the name) who carried a lamp around during the day looking for just one other real person, and didn't find one. Said Berkeley felt the same way except for me, for listening


The effective dimensionality of human personalities must be high, since odd encounters are so frequent
