Charred remains

I have heard so much lately about how much my morning commute is going to suck for a while during the time that most of northbound I-5 will be closed for much needed repairs to the roadway and overpasses.  Yeah, whatever.  My bus is rerouted and it has added about 15 minutes to my commute. Big freakin’ deal.

I never imaged that my commute home could be worse!  Today there was a fire on southbound I-5.  Probably from some dim-witted sh*t-head throwing a lit cigarette out their car window.  It was so bad that most of the highway was shut down through the area and the back up was over 9 miles long. So, All the buses that travel south on I-5 were rerouted.  It took me an extra hour to get home.  Two hours held hostage on a metro bus. I thought I was going to go insane!

Fire

And then when I didn’t think it could get worse the trash family got on with their kid covered in some sticky substance (I later deducted the goo was chocolate milkshake—how healthy!)  The woman just nails my knee and my entire shin with this really dirty umbrella stroller and doesn’t even say excuse me. The bus driver has to ask her to fold the stroller up and put it under the seat to prevent further damage to me.  And she acts surprised that he is concerned about it.  

 I move farther over to get away from her after she sat her dirty ass down next to me and she takes this as an invite to move sticky mutant child next to me!  I am sorry.  I don’t hate kids.  I do hate parents that do not have a clue about how to be parents.  I don’t want this kid touching me. I don’t want her dirty little shoes on me because her Mom does not care enough to teach her not to stand on the seat and kick me continuously for about 2 blocks.  She does not care enough to tell her not to grab my hair with her gross little fingers.  It was just a nasty end to a really bad bus ride.

Just as we were getting to my stop the radio on the bus announced that the fire was out and rerouting was over.

When I got home I also found out that no houses burned although it had been close for a while.

It SOOOO good to be home!
