Observations From The Bus Stop

Soundtrack: “We’re In This Together” by Nine Inch Nails

I am back to using the wonderful public transportation system of this greater Denver metro area. And I have some observations to share.

1. In some neighborhoods apparently sitting at a bus stop means you are either a drug dealer or seeking the services of a drug dealer.

2. When you are running late you always miss the bus. When you show up early to the bus stop you miss the buss. When you really need to be somewhere at a certain alloted time you miss the bus. Or the bus doesn’t come, or it breaks down or whatever other disaster could possibly happen to keep you from getting to where you need to be.

3. Bus drivers are either quite warm and friendly people or they do not speak your language. There is no middle ground.

As I have more observations I will share them.

Happy New Year. 2008 is gonna be great.
