the 80 bus

it never comes on time. or on any predictable schedule. in the morning there are 3 buses that come in a row, sometime between 8:20 and 8:30. i leave the house at the same time every day, at 8:25, and sometimes they come. sometimes they do not, or else they came early. then there are 2 buses that come in a row around 8:40. but sometimes more like 8:50. one time i got to the bus stop at 8:15, and there was no bus until 8:40. according to the schedule for this stop they should come at 8:17, 8:25, 8:34, 8:46...not 3 ALL AT ONCE and then 2 more much later! so tomorrow i'm going to try out the G8. the stops are farther away from home and work, but maybe it will come on time!

also, there's a very tasteful ad for life insurance on washingtonpost.com with a picture of a sad little girl saying, "My daddy told me that when I grow up, I can go to the best college around and someday have a beautiful wedding like a princess.
But...my daddy never told me that he was going to die."
