Today on the bus, I sat down and heard this voice saying "Take care, bye bye now." and (I think) "Love you, bye." I looked around and couldn't tell where the voice was coming from. And then it said "Good morning, how are you?" and I realized it was the bus driver -- she had left the microphone on.

She drove the whole route like this, chatting to a friend of hers who was sitting in the front seat. Every now and then she would announce a stop, and then go back to her conversation, all the while steering the bus under memorial drive, and over the BU bridge. Maybe she didn't know she had the mike on, or maybe it was broken, but I don't think it really mattered to her.

say what? - mas y mas!
