nfotxnMy aunt came on a suprise visit tonight with my cousin Elliot who's about 14 years old . I whipped up a quick primavera or raspberry and parmesan chicken pasta dish for everyone with Elliot (my cousin) helping me in the kitchen chopping the veggies. It was a blast as I enjoy cooking for people. I really ought to do it more often, I enjoy indulging my more maternal instincts.
My Aunt works for HSR (Hamilton Street Railway company which is the local transit authority) and we got on the topic of the people on the bus. Now, besides going up and down (ha, I fuckin' slay) there certainly are some awesome characters you meet. On the route that I take more often then I'd like to (27 Upper James) there's a guy who is forever playing old pop records that he dubs onto audio cassette. From Elvis, The Monkees, Procol Harum to The Beatles. Now the man is obviously a little mentally simplified, not that it matters because the vibe he brings to the bus is nothing short of magical. He's forever discussing discography and playing his favorite songs from whatever albums for the bus driver at that specific time Dave. Together they really lighten up the crowd of stressed out inter-urban commuters. Bob is a virtual walking library of 20th century pop. Now my Aunt informs me that Dave is actually a recording artist who gigs a lot in Vegas every few weeks. That's the way he lives, drives buses in Hamilton then takes time off to gig and record in Vegas doing Country and Western.
It's pretty cool what you find out about the people on the bus. I was kinda blown away.
