the most memorable part of my transit commute today: the fart someone let loose on the train.
other than a bit of stink, taking transit wasn't a big whoop today. i did have to leave 30 minutes early to arrive 10 minutes late and, because i needed to go get stuck by the vampires, i didn't get home until an hour later than usual. otherwise, it was fairly uneventful. it just took longer than normal and i couldn't easily stop for this or that. of course, the weather was nice and neutral for both my trips. i'm sure i won't be quite so positive if i have to slog home in the rain tomorrow night.
what's interesting is the different reactions i get from people when i mention what i'm doing and just how close i am to ditching my car. the first reaction is usually "oh, what're you going to buy?" then i have to tell them that i have no immediate plans to purchase a replacement vehicle and they look amusingly perplexed. some people get it, but the majority kind of jump into car-buying-advice mode without really getting my motives.
i suppose this whole carlessness will really start to settle in once the novelty of transit commuting wears off. or, i have to lug home a package of toilet paper home on the bus.
