Number Nine

Well it didn't take me long (about 4 weeks) to have another accident on the bus. This one was the fourth time that somebody drove into the back of my bus while i was stopped at a stop. I never received my 3-year safe driver pin when i was on the Electric Rollerskates even if I still didn't cause any accidents. That could be because of management who really doesn't like to do anything, though. When I left they had 6 outstanding driver award periods to dish out. Those are given quarterly. Anyway, I'm up to 7 people running into my stopped vehicle and 2 people running into my slowly rolling vehicle, which don't count against being a safe driver. If there was a lucky driver pin i probably wouldn't get it. I was talking to a 27 year veteran the other day who said he's had 4 people drive their cars into his bus at a stop in his career and i've matched that in 4 years. I must be highly magnetic.

So suddenly the Twins can win 6 of 7 games against the red hot Athletics and the division-leading White Sox. I still say the we have enough games against the White Sox and the Sox are bad overachieving enough to make September interesting.

back in the day i had three people rear end me in target parking lots on three saturdays in a row.

What line were you on? There are days I dream of being hit by a car while I'm stopped so I can get a break...
