A new school bus transfer station was just erected about a mile from my job. So you can imagine for the last three or four months now I have been seeing about a 1000% increase in the amount of buses in the area. So this morning on the freeway when I encountered a bus in the slow lane I seized the opportunity to pass it. No sooner had I done this did I spy yet another yellow beast a few car lengths ahead. Now my exit was drawing near and I didn’t think I would have enough time to catch this lumbering lemon leviathan, but I went for it. Passing it just before my exit was exhilarating. I was feeling great about avoiding being stuck behind those horrible pollution spewing giants. Just then as I was about to merge onto my street, traffic stopped and all of a sudden six more buses shot past me in the other lane, headed exactly where I was headed. At this point all I could do was laugh. Sometimes life sends you six more buses and you can get mad, yell and scream, and curse the heavens. Or maybe just maybe laugh and realize that throughout your time on this earth, life is going to test your patience and just when you think your close to having it all figured out its likely to completely change.
