The Bus Strike

I just traversed the city by street and without any buses on the road it was a bit like driving in a ghost town. Eerie. An easier ride, but eerie. Some folks were still waiting at stops, checking their watches in frustration.

Another casualty of the bus strike: Lisa and I had plans to go down to Summerfest for a couple of hours this afternoon, but minus the park and ride forget it. She said we could pay for parking, but with everyone forced to drive the lots will be full, and besides, the lots will be raising their rates in light of the strike. Just as well I guess.
