I had to take care of something after work which I knew would make me late for my usual bus. But I haven't seen Buddy in weeks.
It doesn't really matter when I get home as long as it's light out, ideally. So I was fine catching a later bus.
Sure enough, I was on the wrong side of a very busy street when my usual bus came. I tried to get a look at the driver but only got enough profile to tell it was a man, race unknown, with a fuller beard than Buddy.
I missed it of course. I would never expect to hold up an entire bus. One time a driver - a nice older man - *did* wait but it is *extremely* uncommon. And this bus runs often enough.
So I waited and caught the next bus which overtook the first bus. The "usual" bus was pulling up behind mine as I got off.
I don't know what made me turn my head as I passed but lo and behold, guess who? I don't know if he saw me. I waved as I passed and kept going.
But like the title says, every time I give up guess who?
He does presumably have my number if he didn't toss it. So he would call if he missed me.
