RantWoman is walking around on a sore foot because she stepped hard on a rock while looking for an eastbound bus stop for a route near her house of worship. Except for a couple alarming street crossings, RantWoman had a nice walk while looking for the bus stop; somewhere along the way, RantWoman also realized she certainly could easily have called BUSTIME and saved herself the walk and the stepping on a rock.

Here indeed is RantWoman's point: RantWoman has had a new cellular telephone for several months, like, oh, about NINE months. RantWoman finally went with the stripped down, aimed at old people model. No camera. No internet. Big enough fonts that RantWoman can in fact read, say, text messaging. In other words, highly functional for many RantWoman needs.

RantWoman's head, however, is still stuck in serious inchoate gizmo envy. RantWoman has not even formulated thoughts as to exactly what she wants; she just knows that the monthly cost is more than she wants to pay and RantWoman has many other fixations sucking up mental energy so cellphone fantasizing has to wait in line. Apparently all these other fixactions are crowding out thoughts of BUSTIME, "Metro's automated stop lookup feature."

RantWoman fears, partly based on how long it took BUSTIME to get updated after last fall's big schedule shakeup that perhaps the Metro minions may think BUSTIME is no longer relevant. RantWoman reminds anyone tempted to think such that by far not everyone and especially not everyone who might need BUSTIME has one of those super-duper tricked out touchscreen walk-the-dog-and-mow-the-lawn mobile devices. In fact, RantWoman is pretty sure there are a goodly number of other bus-riding masses for whom BUSTIME is just about the right speed.
