Tonight, I received this email in my mailbox:
I am a 61 year old bus driver, married, 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren with a third on the way. I have no desire to get romantically involved with any of my passengers, not even the flirtatious ones. Let those gals go find some eligible driver who has no commitments and is as much on the prowl as the gals who chase him. I try to be sensitive towards my passengers although the streets don't always permit me to give a smooth ride even though I try to dodge some potholes, there are too many of them to avoid entirely. The street department tries it's best to keep up with them but there's only so much asphalt to go around.
My biggest problem is not the prowl gals but having too many stops along the route and not enough time to get passengers to the terminal on time for them to make connections. This is a city council problem for not providing enough frequent service so everyone doesn't have to pile on the same bus all the time. It's frustrating to all of us and management knows it. But there isn't anything we can do about it until someone wakes the council up. That may take another 5-6 years. By the time it's straightened out, I'll be retired.
So don't waste your time or mine. I'm glad you are your own woman. Just be careful not to make too many demands as I can't please everyone. That's impossible. Make too many demands and you are bound to make some enemies along the way. You might as well run for public office.
You're in Pennsylvania and I live in Iowa City. Good luck in finding the right driver.

Dear DeluxeVille Readers,
Please be advised that many times along the way in my blog, I will write a bit tongue-and-cheek. This is not always appropriate content for all my readers. Sometimes, in my quest for self happiness, I will write or share information that might offend a few people, many people, or maybe just bus drivers! So, I would just like to take a moment to apologize to
ALL the bus drivers, hey-wake dealers, non-materialistic people, non-fur wearers, vintage elitists, non vintage elitists, my Mom, my Dad, various family members, ex-boyfriends (you know who you are), all the little people, and anybody else that might have experienced a "bad feeling" about anything I may have written in this here blog. This is my warning, if I've offended you in the past, I will continue to do my best to offend you in the future! Oh, and please girls, leave the poor bus drivers alone out there in Iowa! Their job sounds hard enough already without having to fight off bus stop goddesses with too many demands!
Thank you for your time!
The owner of this here joint,
Miss MaryDeluxe
