Rainy days and busses...

This is a picture of my view from the bus yesterday. It’s rained pretty hard and I got more than a little wet — in fact, I think one of the cars that passed me while I was standning at a certain curb-side bus stop purposely tried to splash me by driving through a puddle. Thankfully, I was far enough away that the splash only grazed my shoes.

Yesterday’s rain kind of scared me, though. I haven’t yet braved the winter as a bus rider and the thought of trudging through the snow to get to my various bus stops seems a bit daunting. It’s hard enough to make it on time without having to worry about slipping on ice or sinking into a two-foot snow drift.

I drove to work today. It’s not raining, but it’s still wet (and rain is forecasted for later on). I’m sure I’ll be fine during the winter months (last year, I noticed plenty of people successfully riding the bus). I guess I’ll just have to wait and see… I definitely don’t plan on buying another car, so aside from the odd days when I’ll get to carpool with Julianna, I’m just going to have to tough it out.
