the thing itself and not the myth

This morning has been so exciting already! At my coffee shop, they draw once a month for free coffee cards, and I got to do the drawing today! And then at the bus stop, there was a fight! Just a little fight — lots of posturing, a few punches, and one dude falling down. And then a lot more posturing. And then one dude got on the bus. How anticlimactic.
