If the greenshirt slumper is who I think it is, he deserves every last minute of rest he's getting there.

He certainly looks like my son's (former) 4th grade teacher, anyway.

I've seen it fairly regularly, people on the T getting sleepy from what I assume is some sort of opiate like heroin or oxy contin. There's this one poor girl I've seen a few times on the Orange Line who I assumed was on some sort of heavy drug; once she kept slumping down and dropping her ipod while riding the train, I saw her a week or so later when she was waiting on the platform at North Station and kept slumping down, almost in suspended animation. I thought she was going to fall into the track pit, luckily a woman nearby guided her away from the edge. I wasn't sure if I should have called the T police, but her train came pretty soon after and she got on. I saw her one more time a few weeks later doing the same thing in a vacant lot along Haverhill Street next to the headhouse to North Station. I've seen a few others in this state too.
