Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Second gear or the week. Pay day which is good because my bank account is very empty.💸 A thousand bucks more out of it and I could be arrested for vegrancy.

The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.
No electric bus today. 🚍 It looks like it did the earlier 18 run this morning. I’m sure they’re moving it around to see performance with different times and drivers. Honestly they’re not much different than the other buses, maybe they ride a bit heavier over the bumps and accelerate and brake smoother. I wonder how they are on the highway? They hybrids are always much smoother on the Delaware Bypass with the regen. ⚡
