As I sit here at this unsheltered stop, waiting for the bus, I'm thankful it doesn't really get cold here. Fog and 40-degree weather is nothing.

This stop is located downtown, which is really just one street. Off to my left is a cafe. I'm contemplating going in to grab some coffee, but with my luck, the bus would go by just as I'm adding milk or sugar.

Behind me is a restaurant that claims to serve seafood, spirits and self-esteem. I could go for a little of all three.

I'm suddenly wishing I had worn a jacket with pockets, but I chose this one because it's my favorite. I'm bad at describing clothing, but I know this much, it's burgundy and it looks like the jackets the Beach Boys wore on their first album, Surfin' Safari.

The bus is still not here. Let's see. Directly across the street, is a music school that only accepts children as students. To its left is an art supply store, while on its right is a furniture store.

If I had gotten coffee when I first thought about it, there would have been plenty of time. But now I see the bus coming down the street, so coffee will have to wait until I get to work.

P.S. - So after a little research, the jacket is similar to the Pendleton plaid shirt.
