Sure, given a winter storm or an unannounced routing change, a four hour round trip commute is understandable, but here's what happened last Tuesday.
It all started on
Monday while pruning a lilac tree (I know, too late in the season to be trimming but whatever), I fell head first into the tree, with my left arm straight, hand extended: radial fracture.
So no driving, no cycling, and certainly didn't feel like running. At 6 am I started with a 35 minute walk to light rail station, waiting just 2 minutes then a 15 minute ride to the stadium station. As I exit, I see my express bus leave the stop across the street. Wait 25 min for next bus, 45 min to my stop, then 10-15 min walk to my office, walking into my office at 8:15.
Going home a little easier because I caught a bus from my office to the express stop, then another bus from the light rail station to within a few blocks from home (so three buses and one light rail). Day total 4 hours. And people ask why I'm retiring next year.
Disclaimer: I do not own a Prius (but I'd like to--well, I'd rather own a Tesla or Bolt, though not now in the market for a new car, so it's all theoretical.)
Anyway, a few years ago someone stood near a pedestrian crossing and kept track of drivers who ignored the pedestrians' right of way. Turns out that luxury car and Prius owners were less likely to stop for pedestrians, as required by law and common courtesy.
A couple days ago a Prius crossed over several lanes, cutting off my bus. I was in the front seat and mentioned this study to the driver.
"Ask any bus driver," he said, "they all hate Priuses."
I decided not to inform him that Toyota has decreed "Prii" to be the plural of Prius based on a public vote, though "Priuses" did come in close second.
