That's Twice, Metro!

But this time it was 20 degrees. And the four of us had already been waiting for 10 minutes when you sped by-- and the next #36 was still another 15 minutes behind. When you passed us by last week, it was a balmy 42.

Here's some big-city news for you, Metro. Drivers don't get to decide which stops they randomly bypass-- and a few people standing up does not constitute a full bus. In fact, a bus isn't full, particularly when it's 20 degrees outside, until you're pressing up against your neighbor like kids at a junior high dance (thanks Seely).

I know Seattle loves its busses, but I for one am counting the days (196) until I can walk a few extra blocks and hop on a more civilized form of transport. Viva light rail!

My toes are still frozen.
