I take the public bus to the zoo in Grand Rapids where Jim Harding was to give a presentation. Usually, though, I ride there in early morning and back home in late morning or very early afternoon.
Well, once before we encountered a train crossing the road on my way back home in early afternoon, but it was only yesterday when we got held up by that train that I found it crosses there every day - one of the riders told that to as I made a comment that I was saying to those around me that I was about to be late for a presentation. If I had known it crosses every day, I would have taken an earlier bus just to be safe.
So I missed the bus that that left the Central Station at 1:15 pm (boy, what I frustrated) out to the zoo, and arrived at Jim's talk about 30 min late. What I caught of the presentation was great, and after I got to introduce myself to him as that guy with whom he has been exchanging email.
He seems like a really nice guy, and said it was nice to finally meet me.
