It's a nice and buggy day today. We haven't had one of those for a while.
Saw a dragonfly in the suburbs for the first time in years.
Although I have a gripe about the 903 bus, which came and left 5 minutes before it was supposed to arrive at the stop. Would it kill the company to have them match up with the time schedule?
Based on years of being subject to the whims and fancies of Melbourne's public autobuses I have arrived at the belief that yes, indeed, there are basements of employees, quivering in the bowels of Collins Street as we speak, held hostage to a cold, metallic, fridge-sized switch at the PTV headquarters labeled "WARNING: Switching this on will initiate the running of a metropolitan public transport network befitting of the 21st century in which private contractors are genuinely held accountable to meaningful standards".
