Saw a guy walking into the Union wearing a Grex tshirt.
Said he wasn't a member though: "my girlfriend found the shirt", he said.

I had a similar experience yesterday. Around 3, by the library, black Grex
T-shirt. I said "Grexer spotting" in a loud voice and the guy never even
looked at me. .

I gather you weren't arrested for disturbing the police....

If you're in ann arbor, it was probably the same guy.
I'm going to assume Rane meant 'peace', not 'police'.

gelinal & aruba had to go back for the board meeting. Clees and I had dinner
at the Frankenmuth Brewery, a huge new brewpub on the northern edge of the
tourist district. Food & beer comparable to Grizzly Peak, I guess. Turned
out the decaf was regular, although I didn't figure that out until 2am or so.

spotted a rock-painting Dewshine as I was driving to work this morning.
(unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to stop and say hi, I was running
a little late)

(not really a sighting, but eskarina and I were on an outing at Chicago's
Ed Debevic's this evening with a large group and were seated at the very
same tables that had hosted a GoG some five years previously.)

radio antenna and asked about it, they then discovered the Grex/Mnet link.

Well about 15 minutes ago i spotted Damon Andre on an AATA bus. Kinda
suprised, because that is the last place i would think of running into him,
but it was still nice.

That's because Mom is mean and insists on sleeping in on her day off rather
than getting up and driving him to work, I am also mean and make him come home
on his own as well. Poor boy, having such a mean mommy.

It's not the making him go to and from work on his own that is mean, it
is the not buying him a car.

Well, if he has a job, why can't he buy his own car? And insurance, and gas,
and oil, and, and, and. When my boys were old enough to drive, I offered a
free monthly bus pass for transportation if I weren't available. Beyond that,
they were on their own. Being normal young American males, they cajoled their
friends into rides, walked, biked, and did everything else they could to avoid
the bus. The cost of a car was far more than they were willing to spend (cut
into the games and CD purchases, for sure). If it wasn't worth their
time/money, it sure wasn't worth mine.

He doesn't have a driver's license, his choice. I do pick him up if it is
raining (usually if he calls rain or not) and I have the car. He normally
doesn't call for a ride unless it is raining or he gets done work after the
bus stops. He works Fri, Sat, and Sun and often doesn't get done until
between 6 and 7.

I dunno. That just seems bizarre to me-- I'd like to hear the
reasons. I'd think most teens and young adults would want the freedom
that comes with a driver's license and a car. It would get old being
a leash, so to speak, asking everyone else for rides or waiting on the
slow bus system (yes, the bus takes longer).

(you'd think that Jack had never lived in a city with good public
transportation and poor traffic circulation.)
(not really a sighting, but former Grexer Brian Place [bdp] found me
over on Classmates.com, then found me again on Friendster. if I didn't
know him better, I'd think I was celery.)

He feels that cars are too dangerous (I think the idea of being responsible
for the control of one), they pollute, and the fact that he is 6'8" and still
growing means that he doesn't fit behind the wheel of most cars. Especially
ours. The thought of having to control a car while hunched over sideways with
my knees near my chin would make me leary of driving.
He prefers walking, using the bus, or getting a ride with friends. That may
change with time and finding a car he can actualy fit in comfortably. He has
made periodic noises about it would be easier on us, at times, if he had a
license, usually when we are sick and there isn't any food or Coke in the
house.

When I was in high school, we only had one car, and I went to a school that
had next to no parking, and worked at a place that had less. Therefore, there
was nothing for me to drive, nowhere to go, and nowhere to park when I got
there. Thus I delayed taking driver's ed --- part of a class required to
graduate in the Ann Arbor Public Schools --- until senior year; taking instead
things like Architectural Drafting and Graphic Communications that were
substantially more useful & interesting to me.
I think at the time, parking passes at Huron were around $5, senior passes
$25 additional, and student bus fare 35c; but having a late class meant i got
a bus pass that made all busses free until 7pm, by which time I was home,
anyway.
