We Could Talk About The Weather

Thanks, needed some eyebleach...

Saturday we flirted with 60 degrees, Sunday was ever so slightly cooler. That storm in the central US is supposed to be an all rain event. I can only hope so. It's like April and I like April. Cold bracing rain makes you feel alive. There's something unique about the smell of a wet bus that cannot be unforgotten like that image above.

60's over the weekend, and into today. Later in the week, it'll get colder, with some wintry mix. Spring is coming (Nothing nearly as cold as it has been), but not quite here.

Um, soot and dirt fallout from the rainstorm, water on rubber carpeting combined with the heating system (which was actually better on the older buses) and the fogged up windows. Usually the other passengers have good hygiene or else you will get sick to your stomach from the putrid wet human smell while being held captive to your destination.

Nice old bus. I used to race one of those on XBOX. Burn Out 3: Takedown. 80 hours in three weeks and I realized I was wasting my time. I was fun making the bus jump and trying to create a massive damage assessment.

I used to ride those to Macy*s from Times Square. 1/2 mile took at least an hour in those days. They were really comfortable, but in summer with no air conditioning, they were really hot.

I remember those old buses well. Think I even rode in one maybe once or twice. Kids loved those buses. You hop up on the rear bumper and ride for free top your destination... or until the bus driver or the cops kicked you off.

I saw more than a few guys who fell off of the bumper. If they didn't get run over by a car behind the bus, they usually got pretty banged up. One guy fell on his head and discovered his hidden love. He filled every nook and cranny of his hospital room with her. Orange Juice. It smelled like crud in that room after a week. And nobody had Orange Juice for 3 days too.

Those buses were nice, but I'd hate to drive one. No power steering, and no air conditioning. Rode pretty good though. The Macks were like trucks. They'd shake every time you stopped for a red light.
