Random incidents

I'm not sure which of the following incidents from this past weekend was the most surreal:

• Having someone pass by me in the street and ask: "Whassup dog? You wanna buy some trees?" [And this is a twentyish white guy doing the asking here.]


• Passing by an old MIT classmate--who I've never seen when he's anything less than stone-cold sober--looking, for lack of a better description, glazed and confused.


• Being the only passenger waiting for a Red Line T--at around 9.30 pm.
