Thursday, my son and I had to drop some papers off at the Social Security office in Highland Park. Since this is right off Woodward, we had no problem getting there and getting a bus back to the Save-A-Lot grocery store, also on Woodward.
Then we decided to walk down to Calvert and take the Plymouth/Caniff bus west. We know that this connection is slow, so looked to DDOT for an estimated time––enter “Text my Bus,” which gave us about a 24-minute wait. This gave us time to walk to CVS and retext for an estimated 11 minute wait. We got a cold drink and came out to join the others waiting. I gave them the news that there was only a two-minute wait with 57 minutes till the next bus. This news was met by disbelieving stares. Those of little faith (or those who had been waiting at least a half hour) started walking as I continued to look and text.
My next message from Text My Bus was that the next bus was 54 minutes away!
I rushed to take the next Woodward back to the North End so I could catch the news about an alien bus abduction.
Apparently, the story was quashed by the Bus Service is Better Bureau : )
That made me burst out laughing!Reminded me of when I was a fultlime student, rehearsing for a play and working at a Lotto booth. I realized then what I really needed was a remote controlled stretcher to give me some down time. I pictured it lowering and dropping me into the bath, into my bed and of course tilting me out the door in the morning That house would have been perfect for me.
