Got the Double-Whammy today...

With both The Mask and the Guy Who Shares His Music. Luckily, I found a seat up front so I didn't have to suffer from GWSHM, but still had TM in sight. But that's entertainment, so didn't bother me. I tell you what though, that road has GOT to be the worst in Michigan. I can't even begin to do my crossword easily until we hit Gratiot. Nearly stabbed myself today, trying to do it. So I waited. Going to be a busy day today, with the various festivals going on and traffic being rerouted. Have a great weekend!

People Who Wish To Share Their Music...

Can be mighty annoying on a bus. Especially if it is music you have no interest in hearing. Take today. Long-haired gentleman who works as a Wayne County Sheriff downtown. Loves his music, and loves to share it with everyone on the bus. Fortunately, today it was not too bad. Motown-type music. But sometimes you just want to sit and not have annoying noises. Today was not the day.

Bus Ride from Hell yesterday...

Such fun. The bus broke down along the service drive before it even got to Gratiot. Gotta love people in general. Instead of finding out what is going on, they sit and complain up a storm. "What's going on? I'm going to be late. Why isn't the bus moving?" and so on. I finally got up and asked if there would be another bus, because I have to unload my bicycle. The driver said yes, so I took my bicycle off the rack. The next bus came, and because I have to load the bike, I'm among the last to get on. Needless to say, I stood the rest of the way home. I was very grateful to get on my bicycle and sit for a while!

Got the HARD OF HEARING lady today...

It is truely amazing to me that people are more than willing to talk about their personal issues on their cells on the bus. Unless it is something mundane, I refuse to entertain others around me with my laundry. This morning, it was rather tame by comparison, but this woman answered her phone WITH A REALLY LOUD VOICE. To make it worse, the receiver TALKED JUST AS LOUD back to her. You could hear both sides. Thank goodness it was mercifully short and she hung up soon after!

Colorful Images of Detroit...

Look at this fashion plate. She was such a radiant beauty, you just could not keep your eyes off of her!

Morning commute

I finally was able to get a seat this morning. Due to the economy the ridership has been up and at times you have to stand. I don't mind standing as long as it's not too crowded. I moved to the back of the bus today and said hello to one of the regular riders. There was a guy in the back corner who was strung out on some drug or extremely tired because as I was leafing through my BH&G magazine a hand appeared in my line of sight. I looked back and the guys eyes were closed. He woke a few minutes later and immediately pulled the signal cable stood up and fell on top of the regular that I said hello too. Her immediate comment was, "it's too early to be drunk", but clearly this guy wasn't listening. He stumbled off her and past everyone and off the bus. I think he was on some drugs. Thankfully he was not behind a wheel and putting others in danger.
bus rides = free entertainment. Patrick.

Welcome to Detroit!

Taking the bus can be exciting and fun. Hell, just standing there waiting for one can be very entertaining. Take Our Buddy for example. He's a homeless bum who is constantly trying to get money from me. We (my co-worker Patrick) have a high suspiscion that he isn't what he seems. I finally told him off one day and he stopped asking me. But it doesn't stop him from asking everyone else...
