Free Pass


Hello, January Bus Pass. I'll be your date for this month. I've never done this before, so forgive me if I am nervous. Something about paying up front makes it seem naughty. Like I am getting away with something. We met online, but I feel like I have known you longer. I have always been curious. It doesn't matter that some of my fellow riders have one, too. Our relationship feels special.

It is special. I love the freedom from the tyrrany of exact change. And from the numbing job of scraping snow and ice off a car- my second least favorite task next to filling up.

The pass(now $80) is for this frigid month of slippery sidewalks, and maybe the next. Then back to the $50 budget. I swear.
