DEAR MERCURYโI want to thank you for the info on the oxacillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, fecal matter, and mom vomit. Now that I’m schooled on the impossible-to-clean seat cloth, I’ll see you all on I-5 from my car, where I know whose vomit I’m sitting on.

DEAR MERCURYโI don’t know what is a more dispiriting thought: that there are bus riders that expect their fellow passengers to purposely skip their stops to save themselves (perhaps) 10 seconds, or that there are people so meek that they would do this to appease the latter.

Kallan: Meek person here. I have good and bad days, but if my anxiety is sufficiently high, I’ll wait for somebody else to pull the cord.
You go ahead and feel dispirited.
