bus trips!

I don't think the gas price crisis are that bad, I have taken the greyhound bus a couple of times and I witnessed something amazing.
The return of humanness to humanity, as much of technophile I am I can't help but observe that technology wasn't serving its purpose in bettering humanity. It was sucking the human out of us in the name of comfort. We no longer have the boomboxes to share music with our friends we all carry headphones and MP3 players. Living in our own worlds and not caring about the next man beside us. So many more examples I noticed some amazing examples of the return to humanness due to the slowdown of technology.
Due to exorbitant gas prices lots of people have resorted to the greyhound for travel. On one trip the other day I hopped on the bus at medicine hat with a certain lady call her Kate. At brooks a bunch of scottish people hopped in the had just visited a relative who resided in Brooks. One of the tourists call her May, sat beside Kate. As they got to talking and conversing Kate found out that May was her relative who hailed from her family line. May was at the family reunion in Australia and the family lineage had Scottish roots.
If gas prices were cheap Kate would have driven to Calgary and May and her friends could have rented a Car and never have met.
