I miss my sunglasses too much.
Maybe I was on some sort of weird emotional bender, or maybe my brief spurt of optimism has run dry without any psychological stamina to handle the magnitude of the task I set for myself (see An impossible ideal). The whole thing about trying to somehow connect with people on the train and the bus just seems ridiculous now in hindsight. People don't want to be vulnerable to strangers during the fleeting encounters while in transit so whatever ideal I was thinking of was just going against the current of a river that is too big.
So the sunglasses are back, and my local library just got in a new novel from Terry Pratchett, "Long Earth". My head will be buried in that during my commute for the next few days.
