Take on the packed bus

There really aren't many things more unpleasant than standing on a bus
and in one and a half weeks of commuting by bus, this is becoming a
more and more normal occurrence. It's not that standing on a bus is
any more or less pleasant than standing on a subway -although the lack
of homeless people does help its case- but it's trying to hold your
balance for 45 minutes while the bus kicks and ticks and bumps and
thumps which is kind of what I wanted to avoid when giving up my soul
by moving to the burbs. But instead I'm texting with one hand while
holding on for fear life with the other as this bus goes 60 miles per
hour over a pothole filled NJ turnpike
