• 00:33 my friend @davesib just left me at the bus station, 45min till my bus leaves #

Yes, just after midnight, at Cincinnati. He couldn't wait with me for the bus because he had worked all day at his church, and he had to spend 1½ hours driving home to get some sleep before going to work at his other job at my Former Employer!

Wow, that could've been a tragedy, because @davesib is the one looking in on my cats. Luckily I have a key secreted around my house.
