Bus fare and frugality

Now that it's February, it's time to throw away last months bus pass and go get a new one, or is it? Based on last month's bus usage by myself, I figure I would save a few bucks by not buying a monthly pass and going weekly or even per ride in paying. The monthly pass is 79$ which I will round to 80$. The bus fare is 2.50$ a ride with no pass/discount. I can pay for 32 rides with that same 80$ in cash, and so the question is will I ride the bus 32 times in a month? That's 16 round trips somewhere. If I think about it like that, it seems like a realistic amount of places I'd bus to. What I want to add to thought this month is that I end up walking a fair number of places and I have no idea the number of actual trips I take in a month. The pass I have isn't electronic, so there isn't any record of where I was or go, which I like most of the time. So what I'm going to do this month is put 80$ aside in dollars and quarters for ease of use that I spend on the bus. I will use it the whole month and see if I run out or have extra. I'll try and keep extra fare money in my coats and bag so I feel like I always can take the bus, like I can now. Hopefully I'll end up with some extra change and put my mind at ease for awhile.

High prices

Here I am at what used to be the village white rock. Now it sells two dollar eight ounce cups of a single daily blend. It feels empty and dim.

Here I also am, trying to blog again because I'm kinda bored. Schools out, it's still warm enough to work up a sweat biking around, and I don't have a job. I also got a new phone (sad, I know) that has a blogger app. It also has a lot different than my pre, so why not give it the ropes.

The coffee isn't even out of this world good. It has more subtle flavors, sure, but the experience doesn't make it anything more than a cup of coffee.
