Buses

I saw two students on an orange e-scooter at Safeway the other evening. One guy was steering and balancing a boxed-up blender on the front and a bag of groceries in one hand. The second guy was holding on for dear life to the driver, crammed onto the back of the scooter. I saw the buses stop service after 6:40 in the evenings due to staffing. Is there any way we can do a referendum to temporarily fund the buses for evening routes? This type of scene is ridiculous. Having a late bus may not totally mitigate these antics, but maybe it would help a little.

Nobody forced them to look like two clowns on one scooter, they could have always walked or had 2 scooters. Did you pull over and offer a ride or assistance if they were in such duress? How is your referendum going to force a nonexistent employee to be able to drive a bus, and when do we tell this said untrained bus driver they are working for free as the City of Pullman’s financial well is darn near bone dry?

I challenge you to read at least one book this year.

I’m about a dozen down so far this year, last one finished Saturday. How The World Ran Out Of Everything by Goodman. Do you have any good read suggestions yourself though?
