#358 Holiday PercipitaShawn

Christmas Eve and all is peaceful, and wet.

So much for a White Christmas.  Looks like we're going to have a Wet Christmas.

There's still some snow on the ground, but the more rain that falls, and the mild temperatures are making fast work of what is left. *sigh*

#225 Mystery QuestShawn

So it was raining today. All day. And, like any day where it rains, for some strange reason there are more people on the bus.  

But today there was a ton more people... but WHY?  The buses that are on the routes that I take all are long distance routes that do not stop often, like downtown city buses that stop at every other corner or so.  No, these buses only stop two or three times per Km. So, it's not like these are all people that would otherwise walk, but because of the rain they choose to take the bus.

So, on a day like to day with LOTS of rain, 3 buses didn't stop because they were full. There's just no good reason for that. I mean, it's a complete mystery. 

I think one of these days I'm going to ask one of these people where the hell they came from. Because, when you take the same bus every day of the week, you tend to notice the 'regulars' and these Wet Weather Bus Crashers,

All of this to say I was nearly 30 minutes late getting home tonight. Damn it!

#163 Wet Foot FrustraShawn

Not only did it rain again today; apparently we have a mischievous elf in the house that managed to put a hole in not one, but both of my shoes. 

Yesterday everything was fine. No wet feet yesterday.

Today, however I may as well have walked bare foot in the St-Lawrence.

Yay... shoe shopping. Meh.
