Lesser candidate's for Kerr's bus

People like this are literally too " low rent " for a place on

    Bob's * " bus " . But they do deserve an honorable mention for

    a seasonal pass : I myself am  ALREADY  on the bus one May morning.

    The bus is crowded with young and healthy people on their way to work

    or school. A middle aged woman with her left arm in a sling boards the

    bus. I wonder how long it will take for somebody near her to offer her

    a seat. Like zombies they don't SEE her or don't have a clue about common

    decency. She FINALLY gets a seat when somebody  gets up to get off the

    bus.

           Later a bus driver told me a young woman with a baby in her arms

    got on his bus. The same dysfunctional sociology is observed. The bus

    driver gets a little pissed : " This bus is not moving to this young lady

    gets a seat ". There is some applause as if he were now on the Oprah Winfrey

    show.

               I get off in front of the library. A middle aged man with a cane

    is at the crosswalk. There is even a flashing yellow light. Cars with

    waving American flags just speed right by him

               UNITED WE STAND !
