The wheels on the bus go round & round

I'm on my way home from Kaiser. What an adventure. I left the house at 10am so that I could make it to Orange/Garden Grove by 1pm. NOw I'm on one of the return bus transfers so I can be home in the maid-clean house. This bus culture is interesting and amazing to me. The population is noticeably Latin. English is only heard over the PA system as street names are broadcast.

Now I can hear two guys from Mater Dei speaking English. The highlight is hearing that their friend who is annoying them is "so gay." Anong the other words of wisdom are "Shutup your faggoty ass."

You can't get this kind of entertainment but in a moving bus in this, The OC.

A boy came into the waiting room while I was ---WAITING. When he entered I saw his eyes briefly and I became prfoundly sad. Earlier, while transitioning between bus stops, some very young children were walking by and smiling. I smiled back and they alughed. The spinal tingles shot all over me and I smiled bigger.
