February 9&10

February 9th Bus 447.
Normally on the buses i ride they are the old style with the plastic seats but apparently someone has gotton tired of cleaning up even those spills so i see now in the bus there is a no smoking, no food and no radios sign. This makes me sort of sad because before i knew when i could bring a coffee onto the bus if i needed to, not that i ever did, but i could have. Now that peace of mind is a little lost on me. Such are the perils of riding the bus. My co passengers to begin with are two girls one blonde the other brunette. The blonde one is sitting in the coveted seat just bekind the back door. Why you may ask is that seat coveted i'm sure it has something do with being able to leave quickly and a little more to do with the increased amount of leg room. The bus seems to be leaning much to the right i wonder if the combined wieght of the two girls is enogh to make it tip. I am on the same side as the girls but i am accounting my weight equalized by the bus driver. In my back corner here there is a little draftt it seems when we slow down i wonder whati is causing such a thing caus it is quite cold and a little annoying. There was a girl dupont who i have seen a couple of times get on at Mindy's old stip i wonder where she is this morning. Well at least she will be warm in her dupont jacket. We picked up a girl at church stop i have never seem her before. And yet another girl who looked very cold got on at Gregorov's stop. They are doing work on the corner by the KFC so the elderly black man who wanted to ride this morning had to walk across a lane of traffic in order to get on.February 9th Bus 447.

February 10th bus 401
This morning i had another quick conversation with bus drive John. It is nice that he recognized me it just makes you feel special. We are probably going to have another really high rider count cause there are alot of people who have an 8:30 class. I'm going to call him Chu in hopes that he rides this time of day regularly. Yesterday on the way home i saw stephanie and a bunch of her friends they all got on around church stop. Elementary kids are so funny.it is fun that the lights are on inside of the bus, i somehow feel special that others can see me taking the bus as the solo it in their gas guzzling trucks. Just kidding i and not that green all though i think it is interesting that they would leave the lights on inside. It is not a particularly cold morning the temperature went up and waht came down none other than a blanket of snow, just a light layer that covers the town. Chu is sitting there reading a textbook of sorts from here it looks like a history text book. There is an older lady who has just sit down at the front he has on a pink jacket and is reading through a pretty thick novel. I wonder where she is off to. Maybe a university professor. I call her Gloria and if any of you have ever watched scrubs you have an idea of what she looks like. There was a lady who was obviously waiting for the number 16 bus but she did not know that this the 17 and the 16 go the same place right to thte university. So bus driver John rightly told her so and let her get on here so that she did not have to wait our in the cold for another 10-15 minutes. This girl just got on and graced the back of the bus with her presence. I feel almost special. She is really tall well dressed and has short blonde hair, she will from now on be known as Shannon. Josh just got on the bus and has gone right to the very back behind me which is a bit unerving cause he can now read what i am writing so i am going to stop now. Have a Great day and God bless you!
