Bus Fanaticism

It appears that in my absence I forgot just how fantastic buses are. Sure driving from point A to point B my be a little faster, but not nearly as entertaining. I took the bus into White Rock today (in an attempt to find a 24 newspaper and complete the crossword puzzle there within) and it made my already pleasant day increase exponentially on the awesome scale. On the way into White Rock there was a man sitting at the front of the bus chatting with the driver. He was discussing things that he likes about White Rock and proceeded to exclaim with much enthusiasm "It's not like that Surrey place with all them panhandlers" This exclamation was greeted by much laughter on the part of the rest of the bus, all ten of whom began to participate in discussing panhandlers in Surrey and the term panhandler in general. To make it even more fantastic, my ride home on the bus was coloured by two elderly women almost climbing over each other to sit as near to the young bus driver as possible. They appeared to be having a "who can be a more ridiculous flirt and make the poor bus driver reddest" competition of which I, the self-appointed judge, say Edith wins :P

It's official

It was touch and go there for a while because, for some reason, no one wanted to go with me. But finally, new BFF consented and... I'M GOING SKYDIVING ON SATURDAY!!!
