Morning

Right on time. :-) I got to the stop for the earlier bus this morning to shake up my everyday commute. We were treated to a coach-style bus. I was able to stake out a good seat (there are 2 of them, one in front of the other, on the left side about 1/3 of the way back. For some reason, the coach buses are always configured this way as far as I have seen in 10 months of commuting. These seats have more leg room. I am not a tall fellow requiring the leg room but I frequently use my laptop on the bus and when the seat in front of you is reclined and hits your computer screen things start feeling mighty cramped. So I attempt to capture one of these coveted seats on the coach buses.

Afternoon

Late by six (6) minutes. I was beginning to wonder if it came early and I had missed it. (note to self: Must work on self-doubt.) They sent an old city-style. Not my favorite but it is better than peddling or walking all the way to the south end of the valley. AND they had plenty of room for my bicycle and I. Lots of elbow room. Even though the bus was late picking me up, the driver made up the time on the freeway.

This is a truly rare moment to experience and savor. The bus was on time BOTH ways today. Traffic just flowed nicely and I get to my stops just a hair early! Hooray for the UTA!!!
