the bus

I have been riding the bus for about a month. I have ridden the public transportation in Chicago and DC with no problems. I wish I could say the same about the Lexington Transit Authority. None of thetimetables have every stop listed. They also do not list all times for inbound. So you have to call the customer support line. They are very nice, but they shut down at 6 pm. So if your out at night, your are up a creek without a paddle. There are also typos on the schedule. For example, in Hamburg, Polo Club lane is listed as letter G. However when you look for the Polo Club stop under 'Quick Reference' it is listed as E. So I never know exactly when to get to my stop. There are a million other other problems with the transsit program. All of them are fixable without spending a lot of money, or could be fixed for free.

It's funny. I used to hate riding the bus. Now I enjoy meeting people at the bus stop. I hear some crazy stories. But it reminds me that people are pretty much good deep down. Strangers have helped me figure out what time the bus will arrive and given me tips on bus riding in Lexington. I like to people watch. The younger ladies on the bus have opened my eyes to an entirely new style. Skinny jeans, even if your not skinny, and really nice summer shirts with their bra straps hanging out. But the bra straps are really cute. I used to have a couple of dresses that I accented with some beautiful patterns. I particularily liked my leopard print Marilyn Monroe bra under . a brown jumper. It also harkens back to the early '80's when Madonna busted out the men's boxers as street clothes. Anyway, I realized that the '80's are ruling the youthful look. I also realized that I will never be part of this fashion movement. I am way too old to be showing off my bra and wearing pants so tight that my girth flops out over top of them.

There were skinny jeans in the '90's but they weren't called skinny jeans. I don't know if they were called anything. I called them heroin jeans because that's what Renton wore in Trainspotting.
