Dad wanted to ride the crazy train

 I tried to talk him out of it but that's where I get my stubborn.  He wanted an "authentic ride to work" experience.  

• Bus was an hour late
• 2 guys talking conspiracy theories at the bus stop
• Skinhead at bus stop and on bus
• Guy smoking something that wasn't tobacco and didn't smell like weed.  
• Mentally ill woman bothering us at bus stop and all the way to Walmart
• Fight on the bus within 30 seconds of it opening the door.  

I sat Dad by a window and sat in the aisle seat, and I had my hand on my knife in my pocket.  

• Homeless people on bus with a huge, unleashed, German shepherd.  (We went out the back door)
• Bus packed  

He asked if it was a pretty typical ride and I said yes.
