so, you wouldn't believe it maybe, but with my job, it's like the same thing everyday --- that's might change every half year or so, but even then, it would just be the same thing everyday --- next week, thank God, my first leg of busdriving will be a different run, less duration, and a familiar area, the next suburb over........ the second leg will be the same as always, but it suits me anyway as there is a 20-28 minute break there between mini legs

anyway, this first leg that's about to expire on Friday, this is what's weird, driving up towards a hospital, there's a jewish guy in what we might call 'full regalia' walking down the hill - this in itself is not unusual, just wearing black pants, a white collared shirt, side tassles, a beard......pretty standard, nothing too llamativo there....... but in this case, about 30 yards behind the jewish guy, there's a guy with his left leg missing below the knee walking along on crutches.........and then, astoundingly, another 30 metres or so behind him, another guy with a missing left leg below the knee walking along on crutches......... then some lady wearing a shirt that said 'nerd'.......... then I finished that leg, just past the hospital and did the return trip back to the depot for my dinnertime breaktime ritual, and lo and behold, there's the same jewish guy walking about a mile away........sans his legless followers this time, actually said jewish guy was somewhat gimpy anyway

about two sundays ago or maybe three, I spotted a similarly dressed jewish guy, black pants, white shirt, side tassles, beard.... on a train station platform, I was with my two kids after a stint at the water park in darling harbor in the city....... i'd only recently heard there's some book in the old testament called Obadiah or something like that and thought I might trouble the guy to tell me about it, but he wasn't interested, 'sorry, it's my day off,' he said, with a very thick Australian accent...........there are certainly a handful of jews out there with heavy English redneck Australian accents, no doubt, and Russians too.......... try saying teen when you mean teen and not dean like

so i'll tell you, it's good to get jews at a critical mass level so the culture takes over and you can only really get that by going to Israel......... or even actually just flying El-Al is fine........ did you know Bulgaria shot down a plane-load of jews flying El-Al one time in like the 1950s just because it accidentally strayed over their airspace? yes sirree, these Bulgarians have a very mean streak running through them, no question...... anyway, I remember the first (of only two) flights I boarded with El-Al, I was delighted with the kleshmer music they were playing and the general atmosphere...... I also found it very amusing that the guy next to me immediately wanted to know how much I paid for my ticket (like did I get a better deal than him maybe)? that was funny
