Things You Learn When You are Without Car

• Waiting for the Bus in the cold will make you colder than walking briskly home--Yes, even if it is a longer walk than wait.
  
• Bus Schedules are a vast metro joke, put there to mock us earth-loving pedestrians.
  
• Waiting for the Bus is like watching water boil--it is best not to count the minutes ticking by. Here are some ways to ensure that it will arrive:
  
• Jump inside CVS to get a snack bar
• Decide to take a cab home, 'cuz you are beginning to scowl openly at everyone
  
• You have decided to walk home, and you are half way there.
  
• Bill Clinton's My Life (audiobook that you downloaded from somewhere in the dregs of the internet) is infinitely less boring and even soothing when listened to on a long walk home
