Thank God for College Students
College students are the next great hope of the world. I was taking the 84 two weeks ago and this elderly lady was begging for change on the bus. She would wish you a Happy New Year and then ask for some money to eat. I didn’t have any change on me but politely said I didn’t and wished her well. She moved to another area of the bus. The 84 runs between the colleges in St Paul she eventually came upon some nice college students who gave her some change. They were kind, respectful and cheerful about the whole encounter.

I mean, there is no jerky braking or swerving of the steering wheel. It’s as if he drives like he’s a passenger too. It’s nice to drink your coffee and not become motion sick! Kudos, baby, way to go.
