Ok, so now it is 5:45PM local time, stuck a couple miles south of the Pennsylvania border. The bus has broken down.

Lovely! Of course, the bus was an hour late to start with because the driver had called in sick or somesuch, so that was great. Also, apparently there was a shooting at the bus station and a guard or cop, we don’t know which, was injured during it. It isn’t on any of the news sites yet, and as I do not have anything other than internet for news, I know no more.

We arrived at Downtown Baltimore, and it appeared that there were several buses that we could have easily transferred to. We knew that this one was having trouble because the service door on the side kept popping open when we were under way. Oh well, the maintenance guy at Baltimore said it was fine. So we were on our way again. We got this far when the stupid thing popped open again and would not close. Our driver called to baltimore to get a backup bus, but there were no drivers there.

So we had to call all the way down to washington D.C. to appropriate a driver, thank goodness that there was another one. Anyways, the deal is that about an hour ago, they said it’d be two hours. We’ll see if traffic allows that. I just really want some beer. And a shower. It’s going to be tough to decide which one that I really want more…

mmmm….beer….mmm….shower….

waaiiiit!!! I can have both at once! muwahahahaha! I’m brilliant!

Ok, so I was down in Florida with my brother, had a blast down there with him. We went to this science center and then the movie Without A Paddle. A decent enough film, I saw it as about the same lines of entertainment as dodgeball was, so go see it.

Went out and partied with his workmates, and they’re all a decent bunch of people. I had a blast.

My tailbone is hurting though. I’m writing this from washington D.C., and my ass hurts like hell. I am getting rather ill of the greyhound bus and would dearly love for the next 5 days to pass swiftly, because then at least I am back in Minnesota, with a chance of not riding the bus ever again…

but it’s been an adventure, even with the oldsters who sit in front WHO WILL NOT STOP JABBERING. Uff, that got irritating this morning.
