I had to start riding the bus again yesterday |
|
We had two cars, sold one because we needed the money. The other one broke down and we can't afford to get it fixed right now. Thus, I am riding the bus again.
It's not so bad,it's nice not having to worry about gas money and insurance. Denver also as the best public transit system in the country.
It's funny, I don't watch TV at home. But I have a pocket TV that I take with me on the bus. Watching Judge Judy or Springer is a great way to kill time. The TV also makes a great conversation piece. There is something magical about being able to watch TV while you are out and about.

1. Why weren't you riding it before? |
|
Given the choice of a decent bus and driving to work, I choose the bus every time. Among other things, it's being a better citizen.

I can read and drink my java in the morning and see the fog in the vineyards as we roll along. A little TV though, that's cool. I used to want a Dick Tracy TV watch so bad as a kid but that technology was years, and years away. So was that Start Trek stuff but a lot of it came true.

Even though the transit sytem in my city sucks, I still ride the bus and I likes it. You can grab a cup of coffee and a book and just relax for 15 minutes. It takes some planning, but its better than spending obscene amounts buying gas and fixing the car.
