The Talking Bus Driver

There is one bus driver that stands out among other Pittsburgh's bus drivers. He's on the 71A route (the route I take to go to campus) and passes my house at 10.30.

Why does he stand out? He talks. Bus driver's are not normally known for their eloquence. They don't say much unless spoken to. They probably would yell out the name of the stop "Center and neville", or a few grunts, the nicer ones says "Have a nice day", and some other I know says "pay when you get off".

This driver is different. This driver likes to talk. He doesn't talk personally to one person or make jokes or anything like that. He says the same things as other drivers but in a more elegant fashion. For example, instead of saying "Fifth and Craig", he would say something like "Fifth and craig, PNC bank, The diocese, access to pittsburgh blind...". He would also say "Please don't leave your things on the buses, gloves, hats... and please be careful out there folks. Beware of traffic look left and right for incoming traffic".

He has a nice voice, although I don't know how he doesn't get a sore throat after talking like that non stop. Lozenges I suspect.

So many blogs, so little time

I've just added a couple more blogs to my blogging collecction. Work related, all of them. The first one is my research blog which can be accessed at the pitt server. The research blog contains the trials and adulation I face as a researcher. Most of it is just outlining my work, also what I did today. Is a research blog a good idea? Probably not. People can see that I've been slacking off, also people can steal my ideas huh. Hmmm. The only good thing about it is that I hope to get more comments, more ideas, and also some justification for some of the (bad :) ) choices that I made.

Another blog is on my computer. This blog is not for public viewing. It's just a blog for the projects that i am doing. Basically I want to read it in the future and see.. Wow I've really gone quite far.
