So yeah...

I'm still working right now. I was supposed to be off a couple hours ago, but there was a bus mix up. A school that was supposed to leave is still here.

Sort of pissed. Or maybe just disturbed. It happens that the school I was in charge of this time was a Muslim school. Their bus was here. However, it was the same company that screwed up the bus of the other school.

So, the school that is still here thought the Muslim's school bus was their's. Turns out that they didn't send a bus up for the other school.

The bus driver of the bus that was here for my school was a Hispanic lady, and the school that is waiting is an all Caucasian Catholic School.

So there, you've got your set up. The Muslim school was a perfectly nice school. The kids were good. The chaperones were nice. You could definitly notice some cultural differences, but that's to be expected. I learned to write my name in Arabic, and that's pretty cool.

So yeah, the Hispanic bus driver told a chaperone from the Catholic school that she would much rather trade and take their school down the mountain.

That disturbed me. Just because it was a heavily populated Arabic school doesn't mean a thing.

Reminded me of the movie crash.

I'm sure the bus driver herself has faced some discrimination. Not only for being Hispanic, but maybe even for holding a job such as being a bus driver.

There she goes and turns around and discriminates against the Muslims.

Enough about that.

The weather is sooo nice.

Wish I wasn' t sitting inside right now.

wish that bus would go on and get here.

Check this picture out:

This is of a cool problem at Joshua Tree called Gunsmoke. It's a 70 ft long traverse. I like it a lot.

Wish I was climbing it right now.

Glad to see you're back up and running. I put liquid nitrogen in my glove the other day. I wasn't wearing it... I did pour a cup of it though and stick my finger in it. It's cool to feel it boil around your finger... just don't leave it in for more than ~ 1/2 second.

I want to climb...
