In a previous article I wrote about how the numbers 8 and 88 are very significant to me.
So when I caught the bus 8 I noticed its driver number was 87. Buses tend to run in consecutive driver numbers i.e. the next bus 8 would be 88, and the next 89 etc. Sometimes an earlier bus is overtaken by a later bus or buses.
I had a feeling the next bus 8 - driver 88 - was only a few minutes behind. I got on anyway. At the next stop, the engine conked out and the driver couldn't start it. After a few minutes, I looked behind and saw another bus 8 had arrived at the bus stop but I couldn't be bothered to get out. Come on bus, it's not that important for me to get on the next one. It's OK, I still love you, really I do, even though you're no. 87. The engine came back to life and we were off. When I got off the bus at the final stop, I noticed the next 8 to arrive was indeed the 88.
I then went to catch my next bus, the 73. I missed the first one, and the second one was only going part of the way. The third one, which I caught, was going to my destination; and its driver number was...you guessed it...8.
While eight is my magic number, I am open to experience other numbers as long as they have an 8 connection or add up to 8 or 88. :-)
Only kidding; I love all numbers, really I do.
