wait, how'd that happen?

Buses have been really weird this week. The last few days my connection downtown has been late, leading to much grumbling and gnashing of teeth as I stand around and wait for it forever.

Today, I was running late, and had to catch a later bus from my neighborhood to downtown. I got to my transfer point, checked my watch and determined that I had magically arrived at exactly the same time I usually do, despite the later bus leaving my neighborhood about 5-10 minutes later than the one I usually take.

The transfer? Showed up at the time it used to, instead of the late time it's been doing.

So despite leaving the house almost ten minutes after I usually do, I got here ten minutes earlier.

And to think that people say riding the bus is boring...

Funny thing you mention that... I've been reading "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" on the bus the last few days, and today I got to the bit about time travel. Which is essentially cribbed wholesale from one of the Doctor Who episodes Adams wrote.

It added that extra little bit of surreality to the whole thing, definitely. ;)

You know they changed schedules wednesday, right?

Yup. My main bus didn't change, but buses on 1st Ave (the transfers) are so variable in general that I don't even bother to look at their schedules. :P
