PAUSE to remember

Twenty years is twenty years. Thank you Metro for remembering, and thank you for choosing this Friday rather than the actual calendar date.


Where were you when...


In appreciation of all the @kcmetrobus drivers on the front lines of many many people's mental health issues Metro Transit Alert - Buses will pause briefly in a moment of reflection at 3:20 PM for Mark McLaughlin on 11/23: https://bit.ly/2DNUBbL .


RantWoman was eating a burrito in Greenwood when the news of a bus going off the Aurora Bridge tumbled out of her t-t-transistor radio / baby Walkman (ancient 20th century communication device). The date is seared in RantWoman's memory because it is also the late RantDad's birthday and the anniversary of a different kind of terrible bus driver day. RantWoman was somewhat moping over these two occasions. Nothing like terrible fresh news to jolt one out of mopes about old stuff.


RantWoman imagines she gasped but in the moment there was nothing to do except pray, finish the burrito, and be glad she could get home on the 48 without going anywhere near the accident scene. Anyway, thank you to everyone for remembering.
