The Greyhound

I was gone out of town for a few days to spend some time with my dad's side of the family. I rode out there with my parents, but they came back before me, so I caught the Greyhound home. Can I just tell you that if you just listen to what people around you say, it can make for a pretty interesting ride!

There was a lady sitting a couple of rows behind me who was talking about one bus trip she took where someone sold a sandwich, chips and soda meal for $5. She then said, "Imagine, if you sell 20 of those for $5, you'll make like $75." In my head, I thought, "Hmmm...are you sure it's not more like $100?" But who was I to tell her she was wrong.

There was another woman in the front of the bus who was taking her whole family to Circus Circus, but she kept calling it Circus City. Finally, her daughter in law said, "Circus City is that computer store! We're going to Circus Circus."

So that was just a bit of entertainment for me.
