Slow & Steady Wins The Race

No truer words have been spoken, at least not ones I can think of right now.

I'll get back to my Red Robin review later on this evening, hopefully before Young Justice and Ultimate Alien come on; I just had to mention something that happened to me nearly two hours ago. (It happened at exactly 12:00 noon PST.) I had just gotten off work and, considering how today is payday, I went to cash my check.

Once I got out of the building, to my disbelief the bus I needed to catch had arrived. I couldn't make it across in time before it pulled out, so after a moment of briefly losing my cool - hey, I'm allowed to get angry and frustrated at times! - I didn't even bother staying at the bus stop; I just started walking west.

To my total and complete surprise, when I'd gotten to the aforementioned bus stop which had only taken me about 3-5 minutes to walk to, I had actually arrived on time to catch that exact same bus! (It had been stuck in traffic for a time and might've gone by a second time if the light hadn't turned red and made it stop.)

Despite the comments made by the bus driver and one other passenger that I found humorous - how I needed a red cape, and that I could've beaten the bus at the bus stop after that one, even though I knew I'd still be walking if that had been the case! - I'm pleased that I was able to catch the bus I'd tried getting earlier and didn't have to wait for the next one.
