February 11 2014 ' finders keepers'

Today, we met the regulars at the Well House stop and let them know that the protestations made yesterday about the loud music on the van bore fruit. The driver desisted from playing music for the remainder of the journey. I asked ideal restaurant how the renovations to the restaurant were coming along and she said that there were delays and the opening was pushed back until next month.

Today was a new driver not seen before. He drove very erratically and passengers were sliding all over the seats at every corner and curve he maneuvered. At Foul Bay , Julianna got on the bus, my usual friend the plume's perfume was not here today, but was replaced by Julianna who stood beside me. A new face was a young kolij boy, who Comp assumed to be the brother of sleepy head because of the similar eyes. I myself never noticed the resemblance, nor did I remember ever seeing him before.

At the Cutter's stop, the bus driver's daughter (BDD) got on board. She seemed not in a hurry and took her time to walk to the bus who had just put off a passenger. The were no seats available so she had to stand. As usual instead of going to the back of the bus, she stood in the front by the seats for the elderly.

The nursery school lady and son, were back out, and as usual she made the usual stop and handed the boy to the nursery attendant who came to meet him at the stop. She got out at the Flash Inn bar stop. We believe she is a worker at Lenstec. Julianna got out at the Pilgrim Road stop. Maybe she works at the hardware across the street or at school in the area, there are no other offices I know of in that vicinity, where someone dressed in office wear would go. 

At Oistins when the bus cleared, I noticed a ten dollars bill on the floor beside me. I immediately enquired of ms second row behind me who was standing there and she indicated so only remembered two school girls who had gotten off the bus. I then remembered that a man with dreadlocks and in jeans was standing beside me, at one point he went into his pocket for his phone and maybe it was then that the money fell out. I took the money and it was agreed that if we did not see him in the bus tomorrow, the money would be shared between me and companera. There was one condition, the money was to be spent on healthy snacks and not meat products such as necks, liver and gizzards, these were outside of the price range anyway. Comp decided that a tithe should be taken out and I demanded a finders fee, so her cut of the take would be $4.  I have yet to decide how my half will be used.

A senior lady in the company of a white woman and her son got in the bus at the stop at Hastings Rock. I was tempted to stand for her bus as comp was getting out at the next stop, I decided to wait. When comp got out, I moved around and she took my seat. It seems that she was connected to the white lady as I saw her take an ice box she was holding from her, but maybe she was  just being helpful, for when offered to take an empty seat, the  white woman said she was getting off shortly and remained standing. The old lady sat beside me until we reached the terminal.
