I did not miss the bus

I must say, it was such a nice break to be in Denver last week for work...mainly, cause I did not have to deal with the bus folk!!!

So I was in a great mood when I left work and leave it to the bus to change that!  I get on the bus and find a seat...at first, I was optimistic as there werent too many odd people on the bus.  Of course that only lasted one stop.  The bus stops and on enters a woman with a dog.  I use the term dog loosely as I am pretty sure it could best be categorized as a bear.  This thing was HUGE and, as it was not a guide dog, did not belong on the bus.  I mean she sits down and the dog takes up the whole aisle...rude and I have a new rule to add.  I also look closer at this dog and as I am pretty sure that this is a giant Akita (at that moment the lady confirmed my suspicions).  Awesome, not only is this dog huge, but it is a breed that we wont write on a homeowners policy as it can get feisty.  I am not wanting to see a tweeker vs. akita fight today...that would be too much on a Monday.

Next, a woman walks on the bus and it is apparent that she is a few cards short of a full deck.  She is barely walking down the aisle and picks a seat right next to me.  Now, in my time on the bus, I have smelled a variety of smells - urine, body odor, marijuana, rotten food, smoke, and any combo of them.  However, this woman takes it to a whole new level.  I swear the smell of stale cigarette smoke that was wafting off of her could have knocked me over.  It literally smells like not only does she smoke in her clothes, but she also washes her clothes with used ashtrays.  I had to cover my nose with my scarf.  Thanks lady for ending my Monday with a headache...loves it!
