Bussin' it

When I started working downtown, I realized that I would have to start taking the bus if I didn't want to shell out a ton of money every month for parking. I was  also realizing that I hadn't take a bus in years and that a lot had changed: the GPS system to let you know what stop comes up next, and the seats were even slightly (very slightly) more comfortable.

For the most part, it's good. No warming up the car when it's cold - just hop onto a warm bus. Catch an express and after a few people get on, the bus pretty much flies downtown non-stop. Even when it's not cold, you don't have to worry about who might cut you off or getting into the right lane. Just sit back and relax. But the convenience and the carefree ride come with a price. Not just the cost of the bus pass, but understanding that a lot of different kinds of people ride the bus, Not necessarily good and bad people, just different. So you can deal with it, or get off the bus. I thought it would be interesting to share some of what happens on the ride to work or home, so I guess this is how I deal with it. I think there's something interesting about everyone.

I've been meaning to start this blog for a while, so the first few posts will be going back to before today, some happenings from the past couple of months. Here we go!
