Women For Obama Poster

I stepped to the rear of the bus and my co-rider picked up a poster and placed it in the advertisement section.

History Monday

This morning we were talking history on the bus.  It's funny what some folks remember and forget. It started with a recap of a vacation to Boston by one of the regulars.

Listening to the Tigers game on the bus can be...rewarding.

I wanted to watch the game so much this afternoon.  But wanting to go home won out.  I downloaded a radio app and settled in to listen.  Nothing is much more embarrassing than shouting, "Yeah!" when the Tigers scored to a busload of passengers who proceed to stare at you like you lost your mind!

Boogy Down!

Waiting for the bus this afternoon was quite entertaining. This young woman had her headphones in and was dancing like she was at the club. I mean really throwing down arms flailing, hips swaying & fancy foot work. You go tiny dancer! It made me smile.
Bus rides equal entertainment.

Reading and the bus...

I read on the bus. I read a lot. Sometimes people ask what I'm reading, and sometimes they don't want to know. Today was one of those days. An African American lady was curious what I was reading today. "This Republic of Suffering", is what I replied. Oh, how interesting! And what is that about? "Oh, how the United States dealt with the dead and dying during the Civil War." I got an "oh". Well, don't ask next time!

People don't watch!

Not so much a bus ride story, as much as a reminder to people to PLEASE be aware that people cross the street to the bus stop.  I almost got creamed this morning by this stupid idiot driving in the LH turn lane at 14 and Schoenherr.  Yes, it was raining.  Yes, it was dark.  Yes, I had a dark coat on.  And yes, the construction going on is annoying.  BUT.  You watch for pedestrians!

Older man watching movie

This old man on oxygen has a laptop open and is watching a movie on the bus this morning. It appears he doesn't own headphones. I'm surprised the driver doesn't tell him to shut it off.
Bus rides / entertainment.
