Car Pool Log: 2006 07-27

BMW – SRS, older model. Tan and black interiors; had a familiar smell similar to Jamie’s car in Japan. Driver pulled up with Second Passenger and he offered to take a forth. I was interested in figuring out his relationship with the woman in the front. He was maybe in his early fifties and she in her early forties. At first I wondered if they were husband and wife. There was a stain on the back of the passenger seat, looked like someone threw a small egg against the seat, shells and yolk smeared down the back. I wondered if they had any children. I imagined one; a boy, in college. Then I thought that she was his second wife because of her clean and orderly appearance and the way she applied her mascara. It’s possible they were co-workers but there was a familiarity in the way they were with each other; he fixing his hair in the rearview mirror and the way she seemed so comfortable in the car. Driver offered to move his chair up for Fourth Passenger. He said it wouldn’t be necessary but Driver did it anyway.
