Bus Observations

It is a few degrees cooler than I'd like in here, but I am comfortable nonetheless. There's a couple sitting in front of me and they're pretty adorable. I looked over the woman's shoulder and noticed that she was holding a bunch of website printouts with different tourist information like important historical DC neighborhoods and where to get the best cupcake. I wanted to make sure it was the same place I suspected. It was (Georgetown Cupcakes). Through some eavesdropping/listening I learned that the other half of the couple doesn't like cupcakes, a sentence I had trouble believing. Who doesn't like cupcakes? I would understand if maybe you were vegan and couldn't eat eggs (kinda sorta), or if you were allergic or something. But to straight up dislike them? That's like saying "I don't like anything awesome or delicious. And I particularly dislike something that embodies both of these." Ridiculous. Anywho, She was also holding up a paper that explained where to either get the best tater tots or a list of places to get tater tots in the area. Unfortunately, this information is something I don't have and would like to. I love me some tater tots.

Something else that is noteworthy on this otherwise uneventful bus ride is a woman sitting across the aisle from the couple. She has been eating pork rinds for almost the entirety of the trip, going on 3 hours and 47 minutes now. I'm almost certain that I haven't eaten a pork rind in nine years, but if pork rinds are what makes this woman content sitting in her small area, next to a person with curly hair, gender currently unidentifiable, then you go, girl.

Ugh, now I do wish the driver would make the temperature a few degrees warmer.
