I think if some outside society ever wanted to overthrow a large city in America, (yes, Canada is on the American Continent) all they would have to do is spread a cm of snow over all the streets. I wasted my life for half an hour this morning, waiting for the number 2 which I knew would never come, but the longer I waited, the angrier I got. When I got to the stop, Tele-Ride said “next bus in 3 minutes”. I guess what they actually meant to say was “just enough time to drive you batty, buddy”. So, at 9:00, after 30 minutes of standing around a horde of screamagers who were also waiting for the bus, I walked to work. It’s not a long walk, it takes about 12 - 15 miutes depending on how many stop’n’gawkers are on the sidewalks.

It’s just that infuriating moment where you wait for the bus, past the point of “I could have walked there by now”. It’s like I want to stab out my brain with a pickle fork or something. Dreams of an organized riders union danced through my head as I stomped off to work. TRAC it could be called. Transit Riders Association of Calgary, or something like that.
