Character Update

I've been riding a different train lately and therefore haven't seen Orange Hat lady or heard the Voice in quite awhile.  My morning commute, however, is still filled with characters though.  So, by way of introduction, meet the following:

Romance Reader -- She has sat beside me several times and always pulls some generic version of a Harlequin Romance paperback from her purse and proceeds to read.  She doesn't attempt to hide what she's reading either with some type of brown paper cover and it's always fun to see what Fabio-like character appears on the cover of each book.

The Fidgeter -- I don't know whether this gentleman has ill-fitting underwear, but he usually spends the first 15 minutes of his commute getting situated in his seat, tugging at his shirt collar, adjusting his belt and pulling at his shirt sleeves.  It's quite annoying actually when he's sitting next to you but I guess I should just be glad he's dressed.
