driving

Our friend Carlos here told us a funny story. (Carlos speaks near-fluent English since he grew up in Houston for a few critical adolscent years.) He was on his honeymoon in Miami with his wife, Gabi, and he was stopped by a cop for driving through a stop sign. The cop, after noting that Carlos was from Argentina, proceeded to lecture Carlos. The cop asked him, "what if I was in your country and just drove right through stop signs?" Carlos is an intelligent guy so he just accepted the lecture and the ticket, but inside he was thinking: "well, in Buenos Aires, nobody stops like that and if you did, you'd be rear ended."

We've decided that we'd like to see a new sport: Formula One Bus racing. Get each of the 5 or 6 drivers from their routes and see which one finishes first on their "course." Then we thought about it and realized that this is what happens pretty much everyday on your average bus route here.
