Dear CATA, I Love You
Thursday, September 24th, 2009
CATA, you may not know this, but I’m in love with you. It’s true. Head over heels in love. Your bus service is just too exemplary. It’s too prompt. It is above and beyond.
When I saw that you started a new bus service to Stormstown this year, I fell in love all over again. Finally, we have a way to get to beautiful, exciting, culturally relevant Stormstown. I took this Stormstown “G” bus the other day, and I was blown away. Did you know there is an IHOP in downtown Stormstown? I do now, thanks to you CATA. An IHOP! I mean thank god someone finally had the sense to send a bus there. You did CATA. That was all you. It’s just another great addition to an already great fleet of popular CATA buses: Boalsburg, Science Park, Houserville. The list goes on and on. Even when I see these buses completely empty in the middle of the day while bus stops are overflowing with students trying to get to campus or back to their apartments, it gives me peace of mind that if I really wanted to go to Pleasant Gap, I could. It’s making me all tingly just thinking about it.
And as I wait for the Vairo Boulevard “V” bus with thirty other kids now substantially late for class, I am glad knowing that the two people on that G bus are about to eat a delicious and nutritious IHOP breakfast. And that breakfast was made possible by you CATA. No, seriously! It was! Take some credit! I love your humility. It’s one of the reasons I fell for you in the first place. As I watch yet another full V bus rattle on by without even stopping, I know that you are making the world a better place, CATA. And as I feel the elbow of an old immigrant woman in my side and this kid who is so close to my crotch that in several states we are legally having sexual intercourse, I know those two people on the G bus are just minutes from enjoying their breakfast and exploring all of the exciting landmarks of beautiful, bustling Stormstown. We should go get some pancakes sometime, CATA. And when we do, I know just how we’ll get there.
Love,
Matt
