Day: October 30, 2025

This kind of sucks, the local is so slow and such a pain. They were running a bumpy ol’ articulated bus, and it running late and was absolutely packed. I was like, why do I put up with this crap?

Waiting for the bus after riding my bike downtown, there was some kind of drag queen or hooker who stumbled out of Albany’s Homosexual Bar waiting there with me for the bus. She was like I’m tired, I’m not wearing my shoes anymore tonight. And the bus was late. Cities have just gotten so dingy, the people have gotten so crazy, especially in the era of Trump 2.0.

The local bus was like all of the local buses. It was slow, and I had to keep a careful eye on the bike riding home to make sure no one touched it. And I was like, why the hell am I riding this bus? I can’t even keep an eye on the phone and be entertained as I got to keep an eye on the bike.

Next week with the time change, the options for getting home are either drive to work or bus to work and take the local bus home. It just sucks. And I wonder which option is worth it? Biking and busing is the cheapest option, but what is the cheapness for?

So some day I can live out in country, have a burn barrel, not wash out my plastic trash? Have livestock and hogs to feed? Be chopping wood and messing around with a malfunctioning solar and generators when there isn’t enough power in my battery bank? Aren’t I professional? Shouldn’t just drive myself to work? And buy that suburbanite home rather then renting that cheap drafty and dark dump in the suburbs?
