A few observations on a really sleeping morning

[mbarrick]

OK, I was up late working and up early to drive Ivana's dad to the airport. I'm on auto-pilot and even the ordinary seems strange today.

Observation #1: North-Van bus drivers don't believe in Gastown. Last Friday I had to wave like I was hailing a cab to get the bus home to pick me up at what is supposed to be a regular stop in front of the Van Horne building. This morning, despite someone having rung the stop bell the driver flew by the stop and only pulled over when the rider protested "Hey! That's my stop!" Apparently, in the minds of the bus drivers, no one from North Van would every have cause to come from or go to Gastown.

Observation #2: What the hell is up will rolling backpacks? It appears that people have become too lazy to carry their packs. With everyone rolling little packs behind them VCC looked more like an airport than a college.

Observation #3: Driving someone to the airport at 4 a.m. is not good for my productivity.

I remember when I gave up my wallet because sitting on it was bad for my back, I switched to a belt thingie, then to a backpack, now the backpack which I usually carry on one shoulder is even worse for my back than the wallet was, so I switched to carrying a couple credit cards and liscense in a card case in my pocket. never thought about a wheeled pack, wonder when they'll motorize them?

Peace

How about a Segway (http://www.segway.com) with a basket like we all used to have on our bikes when we were little.
