Overheard on a bus - 02-27-2012.

Armed forces guy (or so he claims) from Salt Lake City stands at the front of the bus when I got on (it was full).

As bus went onto I-5, we could see Mount Rainier in the distance.

Guy asks bus driver if that's the mountain that blew back in the 80's. Driver (female) says it's not.

At first I thought that'd be the end of it, given there are signs that say not to interfere with the bus driver while they are driving.

Boy was I wrong.

No, instead she says she's never seen it so bright like it was today, but not as pleasant as the mountains in ... guess where?

No really ... guess where?

Why, Salt Lake City of fucking course!

Well this starts Armed Forces guy and Bus Driver gal in a long and drawn-out conversation on a number of topics which they relate to the whole bus for the duration of I-5 -
  • It's just not as beautfiul here as it is in Utah
  • They each are the rocks of their families
  • Snow is just crummy here
  • Both can't wait to get back to Utah, but their spouses won't let them because they are each from the areas (oh what assholes)
Fortunately for the rest of the passengers, this guy got off on the 2nd stop after the bus got off I-5. Unfortunately for the readers of this blog, this conversation will for ever be remembered, as part of this series - yay all of you.
