The first stop on the train ride home is near the Boeing offices in Tukwilla. As I was nodding off to sleep we stopped to pickup the Tukwilla riders, and a sharp dressed guy boarded the train with a leather briefcase in one hand and a butternut squash in the other. He walked over to where I was sitting and gently stowed his briefcase and squash on the overhead luggage rack.
I don’t know why but I couldn’t get back to sleep. I kept thinking that butternut squash was going to roll off the rack and *bonk* me on the head. I’m going to keep my eyes open next week to see if this same fellow boards the train carrying other large vegetables.
