It's always somebody slse's.
This time II was the railroad.
The train was an hour late
getting into Chicago so I missed
the Twilight by four minutes.
The plans we're for me to 60
to Kalamazoo, pick up Kitty
and the kids, who had spent the
summer near there, and then
come back to Detroit together.
Missing the train snarled that
up, but when I phoned Kitty
and told her, she took it plac-
idly. She has gotten used to
taking things placidly with me
around. She just said:
ooh, the bus. You have to
change In Benton Harbor," and
l said yes, / guessed SO.
So 1 rode the bus to Benton
Harbor, first trying to get off at
ST. Joseph, except that the bus
driver looked at me and said:
Hey, where are you going?
You don't change until you get
to Benton Harbor." So I got
back on.
AT BENTON HARBOR I got
"A off again and this time the
driver let me, so I knew I was
all right. From long established
army custom, / made a beeSlins
for a hamburger joint, and was
peacefully gnawing hamburg
ers when who should come in
but Kitty.
Hey" she said, "don't you
know your bus II ready to
leave? C'mon"
Shed come over Just to inter-
cept me, and maybe she had,
by woman's intuition. known
that I'd probably miss my bus
If she didn't.
So that's how Pickering
finally got home to Michigan.
And that. for the record, Is
the sentence with which the
chickering's were reunited: Hey,
your bus Is ready to leave.
Cmon."
In fact. I still had mouthfuI
OF hamburger when Kitty had
finished dragging me onto the
bus. which started forthwith, be-
cause ii was late already.
Whether Kitty got kissed
when the driver turned out the
lights-well. that's none Of your
business. Just ours.

that foreign policy should be like eggs for breakfast
