Winter Wonderland!!

Well, we got blasted with about 10-12 inches of snow today. I had to come in because my co-worker had the day off, and they frown on both of us not being here. Not that it mattered any.

It really was not that bad. Lots of blowing snow, but I had no problem driving to Macomb Mall. Waited a bit for the bus, but I'd rather take the bus than be driving in this stuff.

565 came pretty much on time. And wouldn't you know it, some schmuck tried to get off in the city. But the bus driver held his ground, and the guy huffed to the back of the bus, where he proceeded to snort and sigh. I turned in my seat to a co-worker and said, "Did we pick up a horse?"

Snoring on the bus

A bus mate sent me this fun photo of a snoring sleeper. What kind of beverage is he holding?

Things You Get To See

I just want to inform you all that it can be visually advantageous to be higher off the road surface by riding in a bus. You get to see all sorts of folks in their vehicles doing all sorts of things while commuting. Reading, applying makeup, smoking, chatting on the phone, drinking a beer - you get the idea. Sometimes you get to see things you don't really want to see. Yesterday I saw a man in a truck pick his nose and eat it - gross!

Late to work

Murphy's Law - if you want the bus to be on time it will not be on time and if you do not care about the schedule it will be on time. Yes I was running extremely late this morning and I discovered the bus was running late as well. The bus stopped to get me and there was a driver in training at the wheel. No worries - late is late. the cool thing was the bus directly behind ours took all of the passengers that were getting off in the city after 8 mile and our bus went straight downtown. Now that is what I like good decision making. Good luck to the new driver.
