Your worried about possibly irritating a bus driver that undoubtedly irritates anyone stuck behind him? Seriously? I leave 10 minutes later every morning now to avoid the buses. Get to work at the same friggin time. Rediculous.
I usually leave my place at about 8, so most days I'm probably out of Southbury before you're on your way. It's only on my late days that you'll see me - which seems to happen a bit more often now, cause I just moved out of Southbury and not used to having to leave earlier haha.
Looked like you had the stock wheels on...or am I mistaken? (you were moving so I only got a quick look)
