for those about to rock

seven.

that's the number of times the bus i was on yesterday on my way home to lexington for a dentist appointment overheated and broke down.

from the times i used to commute home when i lived in lexington, i recall that buses i took occasionally had trouble with this one particularly monstrous hill in arlington. it wasn't uncommon that whatever bus i happened to be on would slow to a crawl, the puttering engine impotently grinding out its maximum output, and one got the distinct sense that the driver would start firing passengers off so as to unencumber his strained vehicle of some weight. hell, there were times when the driver would have to kill the engine and restart once or twice just to power through the rest of the way up the hill.

but yesterday, the driver was forced to do this so many times that i deliberately took a mental count.

the bus had to be restarted seven. fucking. times.

i hate the mbta.

and now, a picture of bubba bexley. for those of you in the know: word.
