1. How difficult it is to catalog 4pm thoughts when you are driving (since I've driven the past two days).
2. The scariness of the HIV/AIDS crisis (that was Michael Baisden's topic today).
3. How the media covers white murders vs. black ones (all of this "what went wrong with the man in Omaha).
4. Why the story about the 10-month old in Pa. got so little coverage and SO LITTLE outrage.

Day 5
1. There was a really loud drunk woman on the bus and I thought about how sad it was that she didn't know how she sounded and how hard it must be to walk away from addiction.
2. I wondered what would happen to me if something really jumped off on this bus. I remember in Chicago people used to fight on the #4 Cottage Grove bus all the time. I didn't ride that bus past 35 and King Drive.
3. There was cursing on the bus and I really wish there was a better way for people to use words. There are so many out there that sound a whole lot better and are a lot more descriptive than curse words. I didn't grow up in a house where cursing was encouraged or tolerated so I guess as an adult it still is not music to my ears.
I really wanted to say something, but you can't really say things like that to people these days without getting cursed out or worse.
4. I saw a man reading BusinessWeek and the cover story was "Can Greed Save Africa?" I wondered why animals are used to represent Africa more than people. The cover had a LION on it.
