Oh I Forgot to Mention...

I realized after my last post that I left out so many thoughts and musings that I had during Sundance. So here are a couple of things.
First off, during Sundance there are definitely people of the upper class there. You know the type, driving fancy cars and eating expensive dinners? Well those people frequent the public transit during Sundance for a number of different reasons. Alleviating traffic, so they can get their drink on, and because there isn't any parking anywhere in the city. One of my favorite things about this, other than seeing high class folk (fur coats, suits n ties) on a bus with the normies, is the look of satisfaction these wealthy people have when they get off the bus at the right place. I always imagine them thinking, "Look at that Gertrude, you can be just as plain as these peasants. Well done!" Or something like that...
Next item of business! Ladies! What are you doing??? It is fifteen degrees out, the sidewalks are sheets of ice and you're in a little black dress and heels? I understand you want to look good for the clubs, but really? I worry for your safety when I release you into the elements, please just bring a coat next time. On a similar note, I'd like to make a shoutout to all the gals who wear Sorells, puffy coats and bright beanies. You are my favorite bus patrons because you are dressed for the weather and I can see you in the bright colored hat. Anytime I can see somebody at a distance it makes stopping the bus on icy roads much easier. So a big thank you to those sensible ladies.
This leads to my next point, people that I despise. The guy who is sitting at the bus stop, wearing all black, with in his hands in his pockets not waving at me. Stop getting mad when I drive past you!! It's eleven at night, it's dark, and you are a stationary black blur against a dark backdrop. Are you really that surprised I didn't see you? I know you see me because I'm a bus! You can hear me coming a mile away, when you do just prepare yourself to be seen. People that do this are a real stick in my craw!
Alright, I think I've gotten it all out now. See you next time!
