Racing the Bus
Life December 21st. 2007, 7:06pmToday, the buses were running extremely slow through downtown. People were shopping the shops, coffing the coffee, and horse-riding the horse-rides.
So I decided to start walking and race the bus. As I left the Borders store where I was passing a few moments listening to the new Jimmy Eat World album, I saw my usual bus stopped at a stop light. I crossed the road and began walking its path along the sidewalk. I walked from the Borders near 4th Ave & Pike to the Verizon Wireless at 8th and Olive Way (about five blocks). I ceased walking at this point because this is the last major stop before the interstate. I then waited four minutes, my bus caught up, I got on, and the rest of the drive went quickly.
I fought the bus and the… bus lost.
