Chariots of Fire

Yesterday, in the snow addled Vancouver, I took a bus after registering (waitlisted for 1.5, the .5 I probably won't take) across the Second Narrows. Was it condensation that was creating an indoor cloud or was it smoke? Either which way, we had to shuffle to the front of the bus and pull off the road to safety. The bus driver was the same guy who drove the bus that burnt to a crisp going up to SFU. He swore he wasn't jinxed and told us how we ended up with the bus with smokiness and no visibility through the windows: his last one was a newer low level bus, but the farebox was broken (not uncommon) so he got the leftovers of a very old bus.

So yeah, I felt kinda woozy leaving the bus, but it may have been my 4 hours of registration hell without food.
