Bus karma revisited

[electricland]

Stepped out my door this morning to see the bus stopping at the stop to the left of my apartment. This usually means that if I run, I can catch it at the stop to my right. I hiked up my skirts, clutched the paper more firmly in one hand, dodged around a couple of meandering pedestrians, and galloped.

The owner of the Claremont was standing outside as he normally is around that time of the morning -- he called out "Traffic's on your side!" Couldn't do more than grin at him as I raced past, but he was right, I caught the bus.

It's these little urban moments I enjoy...

If you'd pulled that off here you'd be awarded the Nobel Prize for Showing A Busdriver Where He Can Get Off (wow, note the unintentional wordplay ;).

Seriously, though: Here, they see you running, they take off like lightning. So, well done! :)

I've made mad 24 dashes in my time. If I'm REALLY lucky, some matronly Westmount lady will be taking her sweet time crossing Sherbrooke, holding up traffic, giving me just enough time to bang on the bus doors authoritatively. :)
