I retired from the IT world and drive city transit buses in the Seattle metro area. I’ve never been happier. Hopefully I can be a bright spot in your day. Outdoor anything, music loving, adventure loving. Rockin the PNW! 🚫asshats

Community Transit double tall coach on the SoDo bus expressway getting ready to depart on route 510 from Seattle to Everett Station. This is by far the most passenger heavy load of my week. Typically 45 to 60 passengers.

Smoke from the BC fires is blanketing the Cascade foothills. Bus route 271 runs between Everett Station and Gold Bar Washington.

Impressive screen capture from 50501 (50 protests 50 states 1 movement) *picture 1 The current federal administration continues to push the nation backwards. This will take generations to recover from. They are the antithesis of the Federal governments role in our society. *picture 2

At what point do they see their hypocrisy? More evidence they are guilty of what they accuse…
Picture of social media post from Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro: “I have a controversial idea about paying off student loan debt: don't take out debt you will likely be unable to pay off, and don't ask others to pay off your debts.”

@governor.ca.gov You wield quite a bit of power. Receipts from Fed CA taxes support many red states. Thousands of acres are occupied by US military bases and one of the largest Naval bases. Flex that muscle and put the depraved 47th, and possibly last, President of the United States in his place.
The image at the top is a picture of Trump on the left and Maine Governor Janet Mills on the right. The text below is a quote from Janet Mills directed at Donald -
“If Donald Trump stops federal funding to Maine, we the people of Maine will take out federal taxes from all paychecks and no taxes will be paid to the federal government”.

Ken Klippenstein’s latest story. Idiot alert - A normal person would see "the entire Pentagon is working against" Hegseth, and surmise “Hegseth doesn’t have the backing of the military, but a ass sucking clown sees “you took an oath when you joined, now look the other way and get in line”. Fascism
Uniformed military officers and Pentagon officials I've talked to agree with this assessment, and they agree that those trying to defeat Hegseth are operating dangerously outside their lane. As one said to me over the weekend, "you can't say you're defending your oath and the Constitution while working to undermine it."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that "the entire Pentagon is working against" Hegseth. Whatever you think of Hegseth or the hyperbole, this is not good for America.

Blue tonight! It’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Last Friday we had a shooting, one of the buses was hit. Thankfully no passengers were harmed physically. I’m sure they may have some PTSD and sometimes those can be harder to patch up than bullet holes. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

Belly rubs! She climbs in bed every night plants her head on my shoulder then walks down a falls into my hip asking for her nightly belly rub. If I stay up later than usual she’ll start chirping at me and walk towards my bedroom. She’s a 12 yr old rescue and was a mean viscous best when we got her.

On our version of RapidRide, Swift, our side facing seats are over wheel wells and in front of the bus behind the steering axle where our mobility assistive devices are secured. Those side seats fold up/down and maximize use of that space.
