Skid Row was the band.

Thanks for bringing back those memories........bleh!

Something else totally perplexing is SPARE the AIR Day. A day designed to get people to take public transit or bike to work, with incentives such as FREE public transportation, all day. A day designed to reduce smog on hot, windless days. A day to save the environment and to attract new people to ride on public transit.

Who would have thought this would really work? Well, I'm in San Francisco, and people here are environmentally friendly, for the most part.

So this is what I saw. Traffic was nonexistent. And the buses were packed!!!!! It was like watching national geographic and seeing a train riding through a third world country, with people clinging on to all surfaces and their faces pressed against the windows.

I noted this as I frustratingly had to change lanes to avoid the slow moving bus. WOOOPS. But waaaaitaminute....

Are forgetful yet well-intentioned people like me going to figure out that Spare the Air Day is really just a perfect day to drive because there is less traffic?

Are city hippies like me going to scorn at the versions of me that drive?

Am I going to get an egg thrown at me by a fed up motorist? Such as on the day I forgot it was "bike to work" day and rode my bike to a gig. (Yes it HURT and it was GROSS, and I didn't turn around and go home, it was more fun to show up and tell everybody.)

And are all the people out riding the bus for free (a savings of a dollar fifty) out on a shopping spree because the bus was free?

Will those people who rode the bus for the first time today become traumatized by the massive turnout and never come again?

We should have more perplexing days like this.

What would Goldie do?

See, blogging about it does make it feel better.
