Got to work in record time this morning and am beginning to feel like a public transportation pro. No doubt those feelings are premature.
I stood at the right corner this time - the one where the streetcar stops.
At my transfer point I had time to dash for a cup of coffee, thanks to the streaming arrival info on the electronic sign at the stop. Yesterday broken glass adorned the sidewalk from the bashed advertising billboards. But the perpetrators spared the electronic sign, thankfully for me and the happy folks at Donut World who made a few cents off my purchase.
Great name. Donut World. Imagine that. A donut world. Reminds me of Water World, easily one of the worst movies I've ever watched. A Donut World sequel could not possibly be worse.
I boarded the bus without being asked to dump the coffee. Or get off the bus. Another victory.
And I got all the way riding on the bus, off the bus, through a two-block stroll and into the office without spilling a drop. The skills are developing.
This afternoon I was "with car" again. Drove a housemate to the airport and then myself and the car home. I didn't find it annoying to drive but I think I was actually missing the muni.
The car I drove home today needs a brake job. But it's not my car. Smile.
And will you begin to harness the power of your legs as in the bike? With all the bike lanes, I'm sure you can have quite a beautiful ride to work and back. And, the muni now takes bikes if you find yourself in the dark and don't want to ride home in the dark.
