The bus is losing its luster for me. Perhaps it's the addition of the Ikea loop which means on the way home each day I now miss my convenient transfer and have to wait an extra 20 minutes for the next one.
Or perhaps it's just overall human nature to complain about every random thing. Today it's the rain. I was just happy that it has finally stopped snowing and if its raining... This is sure to be followed by lawns greening up shortly.

Well, not so according to the idle chatter at the bus stop...the attitudes pretty much resembled that of a lynch mob. Why can't people just try to see the silver lining on the clouds of life?

A woman from my condo building catches the morning bus to Polo Park at the same time as I do every day.

Now, while I appreciate having a new bus buddy, unless you can get me as giddy as Jenga does in the morning, I think I’d rather just sit quietly and listen to the funny radio morning shows.

The endless chatter about how much time the Ikea loop has delayed our route by, every day…..just makes the ride seem that much longer – ugh.

Stalker alert!

Because of my flex work schedule, I rarely catch the bus at the same time in the morning. Regardless of the time, the same lady gets on two stops down the street. She's the regular I call cranky lady. She always has a sour face and reeks of smoke. She also has to be close to 60 and dresses like a teenage boy.

Mmmm. The bus shelter at Portage & Donald smells like fish and poo. Also, there might be actual poo o n the floor.

Just spent a good 5 minutes reading over past posts. A few observations:

1. I have considered, of late, car pooling again instead of riding the bus. But why would I when I so clearly love the commute? I do miss the morning radio shows though
2. Jenga and I have such a similar writing style that I can't tell my own posts from hers without the signature sometimes.
3. I need to blog more regularly.

Saw evidence of a true Samaritan on the bus this afternoon. A young girl fainted and fell to the floor. A man bent down ensured she was in the recovery position. When she woke, he started assessing seizure vs. fainting spell. She was obviously confused to have woken up on the floor with everyone staring at her. She announced it was her stop. This kind man led her off the bus holding her hand and walked with her to where she could sit. I'm positive it wasn't his stop and he stayed with her.

Kudos and God bless you sir!
