Seen & Heard #4 "Stop that Tony!"

Four weeks into the the Roll Easy Blog and this is what is being said.

Rumors: Everyone is bracing for the change in routes and for the fare inceases hitting this weekend. I'm glad I have this weekend off. 

(Mirror Mirror, sun at layover. It hurts the eys and blids the mind) 

 I had to stop and help a woman with a stroller and an angry child unload. Looking back at my chair I could see the blazing sun through my miror. Imagine driving with this in your eyes. Yikes. Lucky I was parked

Lost in Time

Rider: "Driver what time is it?"

Careful What You Overhear

Nosy Rider: "I fu#$ hate the Portland police, they are the worsetest cops in the nation"

Long pause while talker 1 and 2 look at one another then continue on their conversation

Talker 1: "I was really pissed when Sting left expecially after synchronicity"

Talket 2: "That was one of my first Albums I ever got."

Multi Platinum Synchronicity by the band "THE POLICE" Released June 1983

Sux-o-Lux 3000

You wonder how they clean a bus at the end of the day? well here is the beast that does it. The doorway looking part to the left hooks up to the door and it's a giant dirst sucking machine. The yard crew then walks through the bus with a blower and everything is blown into the air. It deosn't take long before the bus is clean. Except for sunflower sead shell, they don't like the Sux-o-Lux.

Honest Reations

 Bus Driver: "Holy...cra..shi...mother..dang!"

(Bus driver trying not to say anything bad after man with car full of kids pulls out infront of him)

Parrent: "Because you have to have clean teeth"

Kid: "Why?"

Parrent: "So you can keep your teeth the rest of your life"

Kid: "Why?"

Parrent: "Why?... Uh it's important to be.. uh healthy"

 Observation

Rider: "That was the most beutiful woman I have ever seen on the bus."

Driver: "Yup, she was something" 

Rider: "I feel sorry for her dressing like a street walker."

Driver: "we can only hope"

Rider: "I hope someone can  get through to her that she is more than a body"

Driver: "There's time for that" 

Rider: "Oh? hows that?" 

Driver: "She had a high school pass."

Rider: "Oh dear lord! in highschool?"

Disgusting.

Rider: "Stop that Tony that's two" 

Rider moves around the bus.

Rider 1: "I only give him three chances when he throws thing on the floor of the bus" 

I look up and to my horror, the kids plastic toy was right back in his mouth. Only three times! how about NEVER. It's a public bus floor! It's in his mouth!

  Sunset As The Bus Yard

Got this one walking back from parking my bus at the end of a long day. The camera just catches a little of the dreamy reflections of the setting sun. I wish I was better at snapping shots like this but it was awesome to be there.

 True Sexy

Rider: "The only way this bus would be better is if Serena Williams came on."

Driver: "I don't think so."

Rider: "What? Why?"

Driver: "Cause if she boards my bus, I'm kicking all your asses off my bus. She's all mine!" 

What Did You Say

Drunky Flunky: "Yang ock tight rant" 

Driver: "What?"

Drunky Flunky: "Yang Ock Tight rant"

Driver enters data into his mental drunk translator. 

Driver :Oh I see you off at the 'end of the block by the fire hydrant!" 

Drunky Flunky: "ya ya ya here"

Special Thanks to Todd who worked so hard on a post for today and now, I'm putting it off until next week. I know Todd I suck but here is the good news you are awesome.
