Luck O' the Irish

Yes, technically, I was waiting for the PeopleMover, not the bus.  But I was taking the PeopleMover to a bus stop...
It was my lucky day at the turnstile... I put in my first coin (they raised the fare to .75 from .25) and it got stuck.  I pushed the coin return button, and a crapload of coins and tokens came out like an old timey slot machine...

Give Faith a Fighting Chance

Made a new friend

Waiting... Had just finished eating at Motown Coney.  A man with great posture wearing a fez and a puffy camo jacket walks up and hands me a yellow knit cap.  Says he is a "street preacher."  I turn and look for the bus again.  He taps me on the shoulder and I turn around... He is now holding about six hats and a bottle of perfume.  I shake my head no, and he stuffs them all back in the various pockets in his jacket and pants.
He looks up the street, and starts walking to the stop before the one I am at.  At first I think it is so that he can hand out more hats, but then think it probably would be a good idea to move to that stop.  There are a ton of people there, and I just imagined that the bus would pick them all up, and not have room for me. More than once, I have had a packed full bus zoom on past me.  No Room! No Room!
The bus arrives, and I see all the people getting on.  I see the street preacher getting aboard.  Next thing I know, the bus zooms past me.  I have waited over 45 minutes for a 3 minute bus ride that passes me by.
I walk home instead.
