Rainy afternoon





Don't get me wrong I don't not like riding the bus in fact I quite enjoy the experience but sometimes things get a little spooky and I how wise riding the bus is. The day was a little bit challenging the storm front is moving through the state today a low pressure system bringing clouds, rain and lower temperatures. And of course yesterday was beautiful for writing the bus and being outside but today since I have to go out in the morning to get to my meeting it's going to be inclement weather probably even coming home. Later on in the day clears up but going into the office I was rejected the cooler winds with more rain than I wanted to deal with. Now a lot of this is my fault, not the weather so much as not wearing the jacket. I truly thought about it and even got my red jacket out of the closet but it just seemed too heavy for the day and knowing my luck I was sure that if I were to wear this jacket the clouds were dissipate early in the day and I'd be lugging around this old heavy thing for the reminder of my trip out. So I left the red jacket big mistake. Fortunately however I did wear a long sleeve shirt in the shirt that was relatively heavy enough to keep me kind of warm. There's also this weird phenomenon that even though the rain was falling and cold there seem to be intermittently mixed with the cooler Breeze warm breezes that certainly did not dry me out at all but took the chill away to some degree I was thankful for that.


My assist meeting was relatively uneventful. Not a whole lot of documents to sign off on but we got through them and then visited for a while. I stayed longer than I wanted to just because I wanted to see if the rain would let up which you kind of did thank goodness. I had to get some change from my bank so I could have funding to pay my person who might come by tomorrow and put a little clean on the apartment. I was sprinkled on intermittently on my trip to the bank but it wasn't too bad then it was over to Taco Time where I got a fairly decent lunch to crisp tacos and cheesy tater tots and they gave me a drink for free that was great. There's a bus stop right outside the Taco Time downtown Salt Lake and I decided I would just catch the bus home and not try to go to the four blocks over to track station. The rain was light at this point and not too bad waiting for the bus which came relatively shortly but the bus was weird and smelly. I don't know if it was the cooler weather or just the fact that more smelly people came out today or it might have been the heater at the bus driver was using on the bus which was Grand as far as I was concerned. But the people who are writing today were boisterous and kind of scary. The image I have on the posting today is a person who was very unresponsive but had a quick smile and was probably somewhat attractive of it different point in his life. Now he was almost a zombie can barely understand when he spoke but he still had a quick smile and an interesting face. For some reason the other passengers knew him and made sure when to stop came he wanted he would be able to get off what you did. There are other people I didn't get an image of that at one point in time broke out and very loud screaming and yelling. I wa s impressed because the driver swung the bus over immediately to the side of the road and then demanded both of these guys get off his bus- - and they did. They apologize profusely to not only the bus driver but to the rest of the people on the bus about how inappropriate the behavior was but still they weren't getting a reprieve they were out in the Cloudy afternoon with spots of rain…
