Itβs One of Those Mornings
Thatβs all I can say.
I had trouble getting up this morning, and felt a little congested, probably because I got a little drunk last night let down my immune system in the winter. Decided to have eggs for breakfast with all of the fixings. Decided to look for my missing sweater vest, and generally was running late.
Which of course made me miss the usual bus downtown, so I had to catch the later bus β the local Route 18. After riding the Route 719 bus to work the past month, itβs hard to get back on the local bus. I actually hate working late, because I so much prefer taking the express downtown.
Getting the bus I tripped on the step onto the bus. I almost fell. The air bag was frozen on the bus, so the bus wasnβt kneeling properly. Frozen bags in a bagged suspension arenβt uncommon occurance in the winter, although lately with improved CDTAβs bus maintenance program, they are pretty rare. They are more problematic when the bag suspension is frozen in the down position over one wheel, where it can rub or at least leave the bus angled at a 5-10 degrees from the normal position.
It was NOVA bus 9931 running on CDTA Route 18 leaving Shoprite to Downtown at 9 AM. So youβve been warned.
