I have a serious problem.  This CAT is a monkey on my back, and the monkey needs to be punished.  
As most people know I'm anti car, anti car to the point that I ride public transportation for my most basic needs, getting to work, the doctor, meeting friends that type of thing.  I was reared on the ways of METRO and found my life easy to conduct on it.  
Now in living in Vegas I ride on CAT Citizens Area Transit.  For once the MTV review was correct.  "This bus system will get you fired from your job."  
I have been late at lest 6 times due to the bus system and it's inability to be able to get anywhere on a schedule.  It seems as though the engineers and designers of this so called public transportation have forgotten that often people in need of assistance are riding the bus and so have not accounted for this opportunity in the planning of routes.
I not only have to be at the bus stop 10 minutes early becasue this bus waits for no one, but also have to take into account the bus being 20-30 minutes late just in case the inevitable happens.
This is until I met Diana.  Diana is a late 30's beautiful black momma, and it happens to be her last run of the day so she means business.  I love being able to know that with Diana on my side my inability to make it to work on time is a thing of the past.  I've seen her wait at bus stops if she is too early, scream at the inability of those drivers around her, and guide an elderly lady on how to get to the Palace Station Casino using the bus.  I really feel that if she accepted tips that I would have to give her one.  She makes me realize that I can use this bus system at least to get to work reliably.  I kind of love her

Vegas has garbage storms

I had an interview today, and it went well I hope I am coming home soon.
