Here's a brief glimpse into why our relationship works. Yesterday we were in the car, stopped at a light next to a Metrobus. I looked over and saw a sticker on its side window with a picture of the Metrobus and the words:
Why Travel Any Other Way?
I read it aloud and this exchange (meant for no one, really) followed:
Me: Ummm... because I want to get there on time?
KingofHearts: Because I want someone to actually show up when I need to be picked up?
Me: And I'd like to not be accosted on the way.
KoH: Oh... and the stink.
Clearly, we were meant for each other.

I keep waiting for them to come up with a Hugh Downs/Barbara Walters type slogan like "We're on time so you'll be on time." Only they're not, which means we're not.

Here Here! All of the above! I avoid buses.

I used to think it would be the coolest thing to ride light rail into downtown Sacramento and spend the day shopping and sightseeing.
Then I got old enough to actually do it.
Apparently, lots of homeless, drunk, toothless, stinky tweakers also think it is cool to ride light rail.

My favorite part was after our burst of cynicism when NG said, "Well, I believe we answered that question."
