Heirloom beans!
And also, on the bus today was a kid wearing a black trench coat and bowler hat. And he was reading Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. He is the third person I've seen reading on the bus, ever. The other two are regular AM bus riders: an elderly woman who volunteers at the library and reads a lot of children's literature and a guy who reads a German-English dictionary every morning. I stared at the young man rather directly until he looked at me and gave me the finger. I smiled at him and said "right on." I don't know what possessed me to say "right on." I've already integrated "peace out," "rad," and "bogus" into my vocabulary, but today's "right on" was a first. I don't know how I feel about it.

i've yet to understand the meaning of the word "heirloom" when applied to tomatoes, beans etc.
i think next time your reply should be: "pure reason is yesterday's news, hoser, get with the critique of judgment!"
next time sigh dramatically and say, Ach ja, Gott im Himmel du bloody jungen!!! hehehe, do you ever see knitters on the bus? perhaps we should invite all of our DC pals to yr Schwitzer Lesung? Oder?
