Morning Commute


So there I was...tooling down Elmwood Avenue on a beautiful late summer's morn. I was on my new and fully loaded Mundo Yuba, and feeling pretty cool. I was proud of myself for being early for work for a change, and was just going slowly...minding my own business and enjoying the ride. Then a City of Buffalo sanitation truck pulls up next to me (not a garbage truck, more like a flatbed that was hauling new garbage cans). The guy in the passenger seat, who had a cigarette in one hand, a coffee in the other, and both feet on the dashboard, leans out the window and says, "get the fuck off the road." Initially it pissed me off, but then I actually felt sorry for the guy for being so miserable with himself that he had to make such an angry and random comment. But it still sort of ruined my ride.
