Today, I got to the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus was scheduled to leave the stop before mine. 20 minutes later I was sure something was wrong. The bus comes about every 30 minutes. 10 minutes after the next bus was due, it showed up. It was crowded, and got worse, with all the people from the previous bus, which had broken down. And then of course that bus driver wasn't really sure how to work the wheelchair lift, so that made us even later...
The lady I was sitting with hadn't ever considered that the bus might break down. I wasn't that surprised, myself, since the other day the driver turned the bus off and back on, and then called out "we just lost our lights for a little while".

Yesterday was my brother's birthday (the brother I grew up with.) That is one of the 4 to 6 times per year I usually talk to him and/or my mom. So I called at 7pm, and the teenager that lives there answered. She told me he was asleep, said "I'll tell him you called, bye" and that was that.
About 10pm, my brother called, talked for 5 minutes, and then said the 8 year old who lives there was waiting with a cake. So... so much til my birthday in June, I guess.
