Red Curry, (mis)Fortune, and Oddly Behaved Dogs

Thai Basil takeout, wine, and good conversation was enjoyed by the Queens tonight.

On the way to pick up the red curry and fresh spring rolls, Queen DeAnna watched in both humor and empathy a desperate man trying to catch the infamously blue Tempe Orbit bus:

After a few hundred yard sprint, the (very athletic) man gave up, and the Orbit bus just kept on truckin' its steady pace towards University Drive. I wondered if the bus driver saw the running man trying to wave him down. Surely if he had, he would have stopped, right? I drove by the heavy-breathing, now dejected man and wondered whether I should give him a ride. No... might not be a good idea. Just practicing caution (right?). I'll send him a good vibe instead. Queen Emily lovingly reminded me that sending him the good vibe was likely enough to change his fortune for the rest of the night (perhaps). Interestingly, according to the Orbit bus website, it only stops when it is "safe". Whatever that means. 

The dogs were behaving rather oddly, both equally strange. Maybe a storm is coming. Or maybe they are just crazy dogs.
