jury dutyI got home from work today and checked the mail and you guessed it... I got a Jury Duty Summons. Yuck. I don't mind doing my civic duty but I hate going down town. I despise driving those stinking one way streets. I get all confusified! I think I'll take the bus. Hopefully it will go better than yesterdays excursion. I tried to go to work (my mom had my car) and check this out.
Bus due.............1:11pm
I get to stop at....1:03pm
Bus arrives.........1:49pm
Bus puts us off the bus 1/2 way to my destination......1:55pm (on top of being 40 minutes late the driver somehow managed to bust his side view mirror and discovered it after picking us up.)
Next bus arrives..2:00pm
I arrive to work...2:10pm
I was 40 minutes late for work. Yeesh! Some days just can't win against the public transportation system.
Oh Yeah baby. I love the bus some days! I was actually gratefull when the bus was only 10 minutes late today!

A good traveler leaves no tracks,
and a skillful speaker is well rehearsed.
A good bookkeeper has an excellent memory,
and a well made door is easy to open and needs no locks.
A good knot needs no rope and it can not come undone.
Thus the Master is willing to help everyone,
and doesn't know the meaning of rejection.
She is there to help all of creation,
and doesn't abandon even the smallest creature.
This is called embracing the light.
What is a good person but a bad person's teacher?
What is a bad person but raw materiel for his teacher?
If you fail to honor your teacher or fail to enjoy your student,
you will become deluded no matter how smart you are.
It is the secret of prime importance.
