Give me a break I've been super busy. Mostly cause I'm incredibly stupid and thought one busy job wasn't enough and should take on a second job front of housing a Shakespeare festival to stay connected with my theatreness as I'm swamped with the stupidity of tourists and coworkers...well most of my coworkers (I don't know why but I'm about to nickname my coworkers beat related things...except for Michael because he is a douche bag and will one day get a huge rant post about him) Smokey is very sweet and Mama Bear is my favorite cause she doesn't take shit and will ream you out for being an asshole and you probably deserve it so stop your bitching.
Anyways I've been really busy since basically June with the graduating university and my darling gnomes perfect wedding and the Phoenix drama u shouldn't even be privy to anymore but somehow am. But this.
And if I could draw you a picture I would.
Deserved recognition.
So the other day I was in transition to my next job after several hours of housekeeping and the bus I was on was travelling up Douglas, probably one of the busiest streets in Victoria. And the bus is slowing down to stop and the light had juuuust turned green for us when this horse and carriage goes careening across Douglas, running a red light.
This
I must admit is something I never expected to see
Mostly because it's 2014, the horse and carriage as a form of personal transport isn't common in canada unless it's Amish territory, and I'm not at a stampede.
But alas. There before my eyes was a runaway carriage.
And it was comical because the lady carriage driver was standing on the front of the carriage like a jockey whipping the reigns like she had expected to make the yellow.
And the two tourists in the back were clutching theirs hats to their heads and holding onto the sides of the carriage for dear life and the woman was quite rightly screaming!
It was funny to see I wish u could draw it for you.
Now carriage rides are a totally normal tourist attraction in Victoria. Rain or shine at least 30 go by my inn any given day but I thought they had very set routes that didn't cross Douglas because there's so much traffic there. I could be totally wrong to think that but it would make sense since they are (except on this occasion) very large slow moving things.
I could be wrong they may cross Douglas all the time.
Nevertheless.
I don't think that driver was getting tipped.
Unless she lucked out and got the wild tourists.
