Going, and Going, and Going
About 2.5 blocks from my stop, the bus I was riding to work stopped. As I looked up, I saw the University of Pittsburgh marching band crossing the street, followed by the cheerleaders (and the Pitt Panther, lol), followed by a bunch of students. Ok, no big deal I thought. 10 minutes later, the steady stream of freshman in navy blue t-shirts had not abated… They had blocked off the busiest street in Oakland in the morning so that the entire freaking class of 2011 could cross from the dorms over to wherever their orientation program was being held.
Eventually I got out of the bus and just walked. I felt like a salmon going against the current, but when I looked back, the bus I was in still had not moved.
