Why a Blog about Riding the Bus?

Partly because it's an interesting experience for me, riding the bus to and from work. I'm not used to being around so many strangers. And some of them just keep getting stranger and stranger... Others? Well, it's an interesting slice of life, I guess. Some times more than others.

Partly, it's because it's also somewhat amusing to see what some of these otherwise normal, rule-following, law-abiding folks will do on or around public transportation, presumably because, well, it's "public" transportation, after all.

Partly because Randall nagged about the idea.

Finally, because, even when (or maybe especially when) the ride is uneventfully boring, that provides about an hour each day of near-pure right-brain time - and while I'm considerably more left-brained than right, I still exercise that other hemisphere. When it's early and I'm more-or-less operating on too little sleep and too little coffee, I may come up with whimsical, unusual, or interesting thoughts to share. Or at least it seems that way to me at the time. Your mileage may vary.
