November 2008 Sightings

21X gets crowded all the time during rush hour.

[WES]

That was the only THE BUS route that got crowded.  The 21 used to be that way, but it isn't anymore.  The 33 also gets pretty decent ridership, along with the 16 during rush hour.  I think the 18 could be rerouted to get even more ridership, but that's just me.  If THE BUS ever down the road decides to run on Saturdays, then the 18, 21, 33 and maybe the 16.

Couldn't get in touch....with ANYONE....
This trip made me realize two things....

1. Ntelos is a bulls--- cell phone service
2. I coulda, woulda, and shoulda brought my camera this time around. Instead I brought myself, my tape recorder, my cash I set aside for the trip, and a half-dozen of Dunkin Donuts. Cuz when I'm on the go, yeah, my fat self thinkin' about Dunkin mutha ------ Donuts!!! (Lol...)
