When You Get on the Bus

May 25

When you get on the bus, you don’t want it to take flight.

You don’t want to set any speed records for intercity travel or accidentally break mach 5 and the sound barrier.

You don’t want to see the driver perform a record-speed tire swap, or discover the Guinness book of world records for most sinkholes in one city.

Despite feeling good will towards them, you don’t want the driver to get their PHD while driving you.

You don’t want your fellow passengers to learn how to juggle five knives.

All you really want is for the bus to operate as normal, in a reasonable time, with reasonable smells.

You want conventional results. Not extraordinary ones.

In many areas of your life you want the extraordinary. The impossible. Alchemy.

But many of them, all you need is a C+.

Why go looking for the extraordinary when the ordinary is more than enough?
