The Bus.

I wrote this over a 2 and a half hour bus and trolley ride. No breaks, just as it happened.
Riding on the bus in San Diego has got to be one of the most interesting things ever. I'm doing volunteer work at the San Diego food bank and decided to take the bus home. Wow, just wow.
Boy the crazies are sure out today. I've got a.man sitting about three row's up with a pillow and a blanket just snoring away. I kinda want to go sit next to him a read him a bedtime story. Then there is the older black lady on the next level up who keeps staring at me. Now she's frowning at me, it's kinda scary. There's a cross eyed guy standing right in front of me talking on his blue tooth. It's probably one of those new fangled ones I can't even see it in his ear.
It's standing room only on the bus and I gotta say, a lot of people ride the bus. I would offer some nice old lady my seat, if one came on the bus but everyone standing looks to be and about my age. The diversity on here is amazing. There are homeless, tweekers, old people,old homeless tweekers, kids, migrant workers, business people, and a pressure washer mechanic. Not to mention the 4 handicapped people in wheelchairs taking up the first 3 rows.
I'm sitting right next to the accordian part of the bus and it doesn't look very sturdy. Do terrorists blow up buses? Some guy just got on the bus wearing a trench coat? It's 75 degrees? You can never tell these days. Ethnicity doesn't matter. The clean cut white boy is just as likely to blow something up as any one else. It's O.k. He was just a flasher. He had a nice package though. Does that make me gay?
I'm about half way through my trip. Frost, there is a lot of people. Glad I'm not a germaphobe. Wait what if I get sick? Shakespeare, now there's one more thing I have to worry about.
This couple just got on the bus yelling at each other. Are you allowed to say, "Ima cut a bitch" in public any more? The druggies are sitting up next to the frowning black lady talking about smoking a blunt(whatever that is). Now she is smiling and laughting with them....
I just transferred to the downtown trolley to get me to the suburb of San diego I live in. they have us crammed in here like sardines. Got off the bus. The roommates picked me up. I'm good.
And no, I didn't take my Meds.

When I lived in Seattle I took the bus all the time. I loved sitting in the accordion section in the middle. It was all twisty and Shakespeare.

Attention Entire World:
Just because a wireless headset supports the Bluetooth protocol doesn't make it "a Bluetooth." Most modern cellphones, computers, and cars also support the Bluetooth protocol, but you don't call your car "my Bluetooth" because people would punch you in the throat out of confusion.
I understand why it happens. The box (correctly) says "Bluetooth headset" on it, so people (incorrectly) shorten it to "Bluetooth" since that sounds cool. But Bluetooth in this context is basically an adjective describing the type of headset. If you bought something called a "big headset" (for people with large ears), you wouldn't shorten it to "a big." (Unless, of course, "big" stood for "Bigheadset I Got," but I digress.)
And I know the salesman you bought it from also called it "a Bluetooth," but if he knows anything about anything why is he working at Best Buy?
Sincerely,
BobJohnson
P.S. I'm not trying to pick on you, Bill. You're a nice guy from what I can tell. I like you. All I'm saying is that if you ever say that again, I'm going to beat the living Frost out of you.

I don't know what this means because I'm a law abiding citizen who lives in the suburbs and has his own car, but I'm picturing Lawrence Welk, a bubble machine and a bunch of senior citizens doing the polka in polyester pants.
So where do I catch this bus?

I know the terms Kleenex and Xerox bug some people, but I don't think it's the same issue. First of all, those are company names and second of all, they don't actually describe how the copier or tissues work.
Calling Scotties Tissues "Kleenex" is like calling your HP computer "a Dell." That's weird. But calling your wireless headset "a Bluetooth" is like calling your computer "an Internet." That's weirder.

Yeah. Because a guy who has dedicated 32 years of his life to playing, studying, writing about and teaching something would only have one of that something.
Or like he would part with any of his collection.
Some of which have been collecting slobber for close to 250 years. And yes, I play the antique and historical instruments in my collection. No matter how rare and precious, a musical instrument isn't art until (and unless) you play it.
But I do have some inexpensive plastic ones I give to beginners. I'll toss you one of those if you want.
