This is has been one very very busy week. I did not intend to have as many functions outside of the apartment as happened this week but still I feel good and somewhat involved with being on the go as much as I have been and luckily this was the first really nice week of the spring. That's about to come to an end now as a low pressure system works its way into the state tonight and tomorrow and the weekend looks like it's going to be upset if not wet and cooler much cooler. Will not see Snow by any means but possible rain and Lowe's in the upper 40s low 50s. I am such a weather man it's pathetic I must be one of those senior things that you pay attention to all these little minutiae items as if anybody else cares about them except yourself. Remember yesterday I got cornered by the bus driver who wanted to see my bus fare and all I had to show him was a card pair of Transit card that was totally expired. So I figured the fact that I didn't have anything to do besides coffee this morning I would head on down to Utah Transit Authority and get the new bus pass. I called of course and they informed me if where to go and I should have known this because the last time that I went through this predicament I did the same issue. Anyway they indicated as I thought the Meadowbrook facility which is 700 West and about 3500 South or something like that. I know the building will just because I used to spend a lot of time there at board meetings. It took me a while to figure out the best approach to go to this place but eventually found the right bus to drop me off the right place and I got there and filled out the paperwork or the UTA person did and gave me my card and asked how much money I wanted to spend to fill it. It was a card that you had to tap on to the machine that bus that pays the bus fare. This kind of freaked me out because of the whole point of getting this card was so I don't have to pay bus fare. So, I'm freaked out I asked her why I need to spend money then she informs me that it's not what I expected that it was I wanted well it's called a I disabled low fare card not the card that I just gotten and to do this low fare card I would have to go to the other UTA administrative site which is further downtown all the way downtown actually. Long story short is that I called again to get the right address and to consider when would be a good time. The person was very nice looked up my name saw that I did have a card at one time and basically mailed me out a new one. I put about $8 on the other card just so I would have one if I got challenged Again by a focused bus driver. It just makes me feel somewhat Shady now not offering to a tap my card on the farebox and then have it drain money out of my bus account. I'm going to keep this low fare card just so I have a backup in case again I lose the regular wheelchair user disability card it's supposed to rain tomorrow I don't think I have anywhere to go..
