Interesting morning commute

The morning commute started out fairly normal for the most part. I made my way to the back of the bus and sat on the edge of a seat due to the sleeping man taking up a seat and a half. A few stops later I was able to gain a full seat of my own and proceeded to read my short novel. The young man across from me was nervously scanning his surroundings and proceeded to take a covert swig of his beer. I could care less if anyone drinks on the bus but beer at 8:00 a.m. seems a bit much. Maybe it's his own version of the breakfast of champions. Meanwhile, the older guy who snagged the back corner seat was talking to the young mother across from me asking all kinds of questions and tooting his own horn. Fine with me to toot your own horn and take an interest in a young mother but when I kept hearing the clip, clip, clip I turned to see this man trimming his nails on the bus. Real suave of him.

Saw Ted Today...

I decided to park at the Park & Ride at 16 and Schoenherr(sp?) today. Ted, you remember, the Rocker Dude, and I got out of our cars and stood while the bus came around to pick us up. I can't recall the last time my hair was as long as Ted's. He was flipping it back and forth to dry it whilst carrying his Wayne County Sheriff's uniform. What a contrast!

Anyway, we all clambered aboard and off we went. I too, have noticed the increase in people taking the bus because coming in it seems very crowded, but going home hasn't been too bad.

Does she not notice a pattern?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that ridership is up from this time a year ago due to rising prices. Well, there is a woman who flags down the bus everyday on the way out of the city and pops her head in and sees a bunch of us standing and tells the driver that she will take the next bus. Apparently this woman has no sense of seeing a pattern like the rest of us. Last night I made a comment about this woman after we took off from her dismissal and a bunch of the regular riders cracked up - gee, am I sarcastic? You betcha! Just one of the little things that bug me - oh, well.
