Red Bus

There’s a transit strike on in Ottawa right now, and while it doesn’t affect me directly (I’m fortunate enough to be able to walk to work) it certainly has had it’s impact on the city.

Commerce is down, people aren’t shopping at the mall, and the roads are congested all day. I actually walked by someone, driving up hill, whose tires were spinning in the fresh snow. So they had to crawl along, so they wouldn’t spin out, and the whole time some ass was leaning on the horn behind them. HONK HONK HONK.
So the guy got nervous and started giving his car more gas – resulting in a bit more of a spin out and not getting anywhere.

What really gets me is the guy in the back just keeps honking – he’s getting more pissed off, and at the same time he’s causing his own freakin’ delay?!? It’s days like these that I am MORE than happy to not be a driver.
As I just walk on by…
