On the ragged edge

If I have to walk in the dark and the cold to the Metro stop, I might as well do it in time to catch the right bus and not be 30 minutes late, yes?

Yes, that's right. The Connect-a-Ride B bus was late. Again.

In fact they didn't even run a 6:00 bus. Had I waited for the bus to show up, it would have been the 6:30 bus, which would have meant that would have been 50 minutes - possibly, depending on traffic - an hour late.

They are so damned cavalier about that bus.
