Errant

If there is one thing I don't like about the commute is that I am not driving.

I miss being able to take off and explore. I miss the little adventures. I miss the ability to make split-second decisions on what to do with my free-time. Go visit friends in other states, go get frozen yogurt, go to a movie that starts in 5 minutes, go look at the new houses that are being built outside of town. The bus won't let you do that.

My sense of adventure is limited, I'll admit, but it does need satifaction. I get crazy of the same old scenery. One thing that has replaced this need for road trips and wasted gas is following a party.

The city has so much hidden stuff that just following a group of people can open up venues and activities you were oblivious to. You get to meet more people. The best part is not having a long way to go to get home.
