Red suitcases and cartoon characters

The red suitcase lady was back yesterday afternoon.  She'd been missing for a couple weeks.  I was worried about her.  But she was there, with the red roller suitcase, but without the empty cardboard syringe boxes.  And then, today, gone again.  Shaggy from Scooby Doo was absent on the way home today (he has been on every single bus ride that I've taken so far, to and fro).  His car was in the park and ride lot when I got back today so he must have had to work late.  Tough to work late on a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon.  Maybe he went out for a beer with friends and took a later bus instead.  I'm going to hope so.
