Hello forsaken readers. I am sure there are only one or tow of you out there that still check in on this sad excuse for a blog. I just haven't had much interesting to say.
I read this morning that the Muni Fast Passes are fading out this year and the Transitlink (soon to be called Clipper) will be taking over. I am glad things are being streamlines, but I am sad to loose the pretty little paper passes. It took me about 4 years to call them Fast Passes and not Metrocards (from my New York days). I wonder how long it will take me to get the name right on this thing. At least I won't have to hunt down a Fast Pass and scrape up cash at the beginning of the month anymore. Maybe my old Fast Passes, which I have been saving up for 5 years, will become collector's items.
In other news, come August we will be residents of Tyler, Texas for a year. It's a small town in East Texas and I still have no idea what to expect. I've never been there. I do know that it will be a big shift from San Francisco. I'm leaving the wine country for a dry county. Sigh. I plan to put this blog on hold and start writing about my year in Tyler. In the meantime, I'll do my best to catch up with a few bus tales here.

I enjoy reading this, and check in from time to time. It's especially refreshing to read about someone who rides the bus, when the picture I have of Americans is that everybody is supposed to own a car.
I must admit: stupid, ignorant European here:-/
Oh, forgot to say: enjoy Texas, and I would like to read about that too. I suppose you will have to drive there? Or are there buses there too?
Wow. For a girl who relocated to San Francisco from New York, living in a dry county will be the least of your adjustment difficulties. (The others may drive you to drink, however!)
That said, if you can look past the cultural differences, you'll find plenty of good and decent folks trying to live right and raise their children right, just like you.
I'm looking forward to following your year in Tyler. Please post the new blog address here when you have it. (And don't forget to tell us about the state of public transportation out there.)
Good luck, Brenna.
