took place in Tucson. We joke and say it's a sunny place for shady people. So it took place in 2006. I was going to the U of A and I just moved to my first off-campus housing, some student apartments, and they were a ways away. So I was going to have to commute every day. I had a car, but I apparently decided to be frugal all of a sudden. And I found out how much the parking pass was.

Compared to my old school in Florida, I was just like, this is absurd. I refuse to give that much money to park miles away from where my class is going to be anyway. So I decided I'm going to take the city bus. I'm not above that. It'll be very humble experience.

Yeah. Yeah, it'd be very environmentally friendly, less car on the road. Yeah. So overall, I actually really enjoyed it. It was really quiet in the mornings and I could study and do things last minute. But this one very balmy monsoon afternoon, I was taking the bus back from campus and I was like the last stop. It was like 110 degrees, probably like 115 at the bus stops.

Super humid all of a sudden. So everything's super hot and sticky. I often saw interesting characters. We had lots of regulars on our route. One of my regular guys, we'll call him Pete, he hopped on and he's an older guy and he looks like he's not able to let his 80s California boardwalk days go. He's very sun-weathered, really orange-brown skin. Looks like you could drag him down the street.

bleached yellowy white blonde hair and it was balding on top but long enough he'd pull it in like a messy ponytail in the back and he was a cool guy like didn't usually make a scene but i guess this one afternoon he decided it was a good day to pamper himself so i'm sitting in the back so i can pretty much see everything that's going on and he sits down towards the front of the bus and you know there's a big old city bus so the windows don't open they have the ac unit kind of towards the front in this one but

But they don't work. It's like spitting water. And it's just kind of recirculating half-assed cool air. So he sits down across from the AC unit, starts taking off his socks and shoes. And I'm like, okay. You know, it's hot out. Maybe his shoes are rubbing. And then I see him. He reaches into his bag. And then he pulls out what looks like a small cheese grater. He starts sawing away at his heel.
