Hey, @helps.octranspo.com is the SMS system for bus stop schedules not working? 🤔
I plan to get out on the buses today for errands and can't get the times for my first stop. I have tried two different stop numbers with no response. 🤨
Not taking trains, just my usual buses 🚌

We got out for Sunday morning walkies and errands in the wind and snow then returned home. Home sweet cozy home.
I can't spend much time exploring posts due to the disturbing news coming from the US and elsewhere. On the bright side, more citizens have had enough of that sh1t and are speaking up.

It feels like a messy, dull March day. ☔ My friend acquiesced to a short walk in the rain for a few groceries and fresh air. Also, I chipped the ice and snow off the compost drum so I could deposit a bucket of frozen scraps waiting on the porch all week. Small wins.
