And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep. (Lord Byron)

And the drama continues...

I had to take the bus to work this morning, since my van is still at the mechanics. It was only about three stops into the route, when the bus was hit by a car! It happened on a quiet side street -- some guy was coming out of an appartment complex and didn't see the bus. I have no idea how you can miss seeing a public transit bus, but this guy managed to ram into the side of the bus. Luckily nobody was hurt. But they kept us on the bus for almost an hour while the police did the investigation and took statements before letting us transfer to another bus.

I really want my van back!
