Greyhound bus sucks. Shelton to FGG. Early to bed, early to rise, makes this Oatmeal tear up his legs in a turn of events. I got up at 05:50 AM. I was out the door at 06:30 AM. I jogged over with two bags three miles to Safeway. I hopped on Bus 6. I made it over to Olympia. I walked around a few blocks trying to find the Flix Bus which ended up being a Grey Hound. I ended up not asking people three times or so. But then did ask one guy who told me which direction to go. I ended up going back to the transit center where I started. I went into the building Greyhound has. But they said tickets are done online. Silly because why not do it there in person? So I had to walk several blocks to find WIFI to order a bus ticket. I walked back. But then realized I needed to open up the real ticket by email. So, I had to walk back to find WIFI again. I opened up my email to get an QC code thing for the bus driver to scan.


I do not endorse Greyhound because of this. I first hopped on Greyhound with my family in 1992 to visit California for a family reunion for that Christmas. But they had paper tickets. Now, I don't mind having QR codes as an option. My problem is forcing people to do online paperless tickets only. We should do both, period. QR codes can make stealing tickets easier in some cases. So a different bus came to take me to Portland. I made it to PDX around 11:30 AM. I was walking around. I made it to Pioneer Square. I hopped on the MAX train. That is where my brother ran into me. He found me. He was on the same train car.
