| There goes my bus |
It's not just because I missed my bus, but I also forgot to write a new post in my usual Tuesday routine habit. I don't think anybody but me probably cares, but it's pretty hard for me to get used to forgetting things all the time, every day. I would have sworn I wrote this post, but it was just in my own head. It's now Wednesday morning, bright and early, but nothing I can do will make it possible to post this yesterday. I thought about just letting it go, but I don't seem to be able to do that.
Oh well. I had a pretty good day yesterday and felt like I had all the time in the world, but deadlines and buses wait for no one. We have a wonderful bus system here in Bellingham, and I ride it quite often and faithfully. I know the ins and outs of the system, and I recently learned that, like everything else, the rates are going up.
Until they do, I haven't paid a dime for a bus ride for seven years, since if you are 75 or older, the buses have been free. Once the rates change, I'll be paying $1 per ride. I know it's not much, but I see people on the bus that I know will be negatively impacted. I wish we could have a means test, or some way to cover their costs for them. The bus system is taking comments and I have suggested this might be a way to help the really indigent riders. Any ideas?
Now I am going to post this tardy missive and hope the rest of my day will proceed without further incident.

You wrote it so well inside your head,

Buses and Tuesdays may slip right past,
But Wednesday’s words still land at last.
The bus system in town has a punch card that is at a reduced price. If you accompany someone to a medical appointment in a wheelchair it is a free ride. Perhaps a local charity would help out with free ride coupons.
