Greyhound @ MindSay 
9:45 am
Waiting for the bus, trying to hurry through the last half of my current book (one I've read numerous times, but there's comments from Laura and Natalie throughout, so I want to finish it, damnit!) I really want to start American Gods so that I can leave my own commentary and start something fresh. Really self-conscious of being here at the bus stop, around other travelers, and fighting my natural anxiety of leaving home for the big, scary city. I'm such a homebody, but I love my home. There's no escaping it; Nevada County for all its problems and its nauseating boredom, is home. I miss it already. I miss comfort and familiarity and recognizing-even if I don't particularly like-everyone. But getting away for a few days will be good...I keep telling myself.
Oh-and I hate carrying two [heavy] bags. Not looking forward to cartinga round 50+ lbs all over the city this afternoon.

At Laura and Natalie's apartment
Finally here. Didn't finish that stupid book. I've learned that I don't like Greyhound buses, and I've been reminded why I won't live in a big city. But I'm looking forward to the rest of the week. I've decided that no matter what Laura and Natalie have going on, I'm not going to get stressed about details. I'm going to just...go with the flow. No schedules, no rules. Just...when they go to class, either I'll go or I'll hang out and explore on my own. They've got their lives to carry on, despite my visit, and I didn't come here to trail after them at school. This is my break, and, while I intend to spend a great deal of time with them, while they're busy, I'll find my own way. :) In the mean time, Natalie's at work, Laura is supposedly on her way home, and I'm chillin' at their apartment. I'll probably snag a shower and head down to Natalie's work in a bit if Laura doesn't show soon.

The FFF Plan is based on 15 years of statistics. We do not use tipsters, recommendations or 'sure fire insider tips'! The FFF Plan is based on statistical facts.
This new updated 2008 version now includes an alternative staking plan to give you even more profits, a greater return! Complete and full records in the book.
There are masses of horse racing systems that DO NOT WORK - we know, we've tried many of them.
There are many con-merchants out there who churn out a system per week just to sell to vulnerable people.
There are many fly-by-nights who will sell you their system and then you can never contact them again!
The world, and in particular the world of horse racing systems, is full of crooks!
We have been trading with our horse racing systems for almost four years. Our address and telephone number are available to you - please contact us, we are here to help.
We run the FFF Plan every day ourselves and make a good income from it. We are also writers and so we made a book about it too.
We are well known and respected in the horse racing world, please ask around people do know us!
In these times when the future is uncertain, when prices are rocketing (who believes the rate of inflation the government laughingly claim!) we all need an extra income, some extra security that earning money each month can produce.
But wouldn't it be great to then have the ability to give yourself some of life's little extras!!!
One of the real beauties of creating an income from horse-racing is IT IS ENTIRELY TAX FREE IN THE UK!*
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ANY OF IT TO THE GOVERNMENT!
The FFF Plan ebook is instantly downloadable, to your computer so you can start NOW, today, earning money, creating your own income.

From Mike and Suzy in Glastonbury UK |
This book will change your life! We will say that again!
This book will change your life!
Not perhaps or maybe, but WILL!!
Meet the writers -
He now gives seminars on various subjects including self-improvement and property renovations.
It was his discovery of a statistical fact that started the FFF Plan.
Hazel Reed has lived, ridden and trained with horses all her life. She has successfully achieved her qualifications to become an instructor and has also written the textbooks for the British Horse Society Examinations to help students obtain their instructor's certificates. She has trained in various yards including racing yards, where she exercised and trained with race horses.
She was the sceptical one, knowing as she does about racing and the racing world in general.
However she became convinced about the FFF Plan, tried it and has never looked back.
A note from Dennis and Hazel,
Have you ever thought of running your own successful business from your own home? When you follow our plan you will quickly and easily begin to earn an income.
-
No complicated mathematical formulas – we give you a specially designed calculator worth over £60.00 FREE!
-
All you need to do is enter your stake and the odds, then collect the winnings!
-
No hours of form casting, studying course, trainers, jockeys, horses and racing yards, because in the end a horse will either win or lose! Even the best rated horses lose and even those considered ‘donkeys' win!
We confidently show you how you can increase your investment substantially just as we do with a few hours work each day.
You will quickly learn to earn money every week for the rest of your life!
“Yes you certainly can make thousands or, if you prefer, you can earn enough cash to give you a good living wage every week. The amount you earn from your initial investment is entirely up to you!”
When we started this Plan almost four years ago, Hazel was very sceptical about it all. Living and training with horses all her life, she knows what horses are like and that they do not comply to any rules! Horse racing is an erratic sport and anyone who says they can pick a 'cert' out is not in the world of the real!
However Hazel agreed to try out the system and put her very first bet on any horse in racing - a whole £12.00!!! Imagine her delight when her investment more than doubled that day. And she did not stop there. She followed the system every day for the next month and finished with more than £7,000 in the pot!17th January 2005 first bet for £12 brought in £30 By 18th February 2005 the total profit was £7,339.03 from that very first £12 bet! You can earn anything - £100 to £500 a day or whatever your bank will support.
We both do this system regularly and it does work.
Of course no system ever works 100% of the time, anyone who claims their system does is less than truthful! It is horse racing, that is why there are bookies and betting exchanges.
Knowing this fact we firstly do not follow tipsters, we base this Plan on a proven statistics and then follow it through with a mathematical calculation.
You certainly will earn a good living from it. Evidence from our records as shown in the book – you can check up on the records/results from any bookmakers' site.
But you must be ‘in action' to do it. Read the book, trial run it, then go for the profits.
Without action, words are just words, with the FFF Plan you can start earning money immediately.
You can work at it one/two or seven days a week. You choose.
Hi there
Let me thank you for a great system and betting ladder.
By all means use anything I write to you that helps to convince people that you are REAL!
You system works like a dream and I cannot praise it highly enough. It is definitely a good way to make a steady stream of money.
Best regards to both of you....
Dave
Thank you so much for this wonderful plan; easy and simple to use.
This book is so well written anyone can follow it, even if, like me, they have not had much experience of horse racing previously.
I have downloaded books before but most are so incredibly complicated that the system is either impossible to understand or impossible to follow. This Plan though is so well written it is easily understood, AND IT WORKS! I made £700 in the first few days and I am generally nervous about money!
So thanks once again Dennis and Hazel, you truly have changed my life!
Cheers

Your approachability proves your genuineness.
Thank you for your time.

This system has been valued by independent traders to cost over £250.00! Because of the potential to earn a steady income over many years.
But we are keeping the price especially low at £62.97!

Working in a bus terminal is giving me some interesting new insights about people in general!
It's been very enjoyable and it's had it's tough moments too. I've been enjoying what I do here at the station and feel it's rewarding work. I'm happy to help people get where they need to go. Happy to help them ship their parcels to and fro. And happy to start VERY early in the morning so I get to watch the sun rise while I work and then I'm home in time for lunch, a walk with Daisy and a wee nap!
Students comprise a large portion of our frequent travelers, and they are far more noticeable than any of the others. They usually show up at the station in groups, spontaneously traveling to some event or just for fun. Often they are loud and disruptive while in the station, unaware they are bumping regular travelers or causing the transit company to bring in more buses to accommodate them. Rarely do they have ID's ready even though they don't get student discounts without valid identification. They even seem to think buses should wait for them regardless of their last minute arrival at the terminal.
One day, not long ago a teacher took about 20 students into Toronto. She seemed surprised when I suggested to her that she let us know in advance of such planned trips, even she forgot to think of the consequences the impact her 20 students might have on other regular travelers. It's almost half a bus load - you'd think she'd consider that might create issues! Then there's the travelers that come into the station covered in snow and asking why their bus is late on a day when there's already 3" of snow on the roads and more falling every minute. Somehow buses and their drivers should be able to get through on time no matter what and regardless of the fact they have to run on the same highways passengers wanted no part of driving! Yup, people are funny!
At our station we sell tickets for two private inter-city bus companies, as well as one public inter-city transit company that is subsidized by the Provincial government. I've still a lot to learn regarding connections and details of common stops along all these routes, things which travelers ask about often. I think I'll eventually build a reference sheet or two that might be helpful, might even see a benefit in developing travelers cheat sheets that could be sold at a nominal fee to offset the printing and research costs.
Other regular travelers include business people who prefer taking the bus to driving into the city, where parking is at a premium and traffic is heavy. People heading off for treatments or therapy at larger city hospitals nearby, seniors and those who don't own cars complete the list!
I've found people watching at the terminal to be quite entertaining. Learning to read the body language of people who know they're late but hope they can catch the bus anyway has been useful. Some who get quite angry when things don't go as they've hoped can display their misplaced emotions in embarrassing ways. Some truly think the ticket agent or driver should take responsibility for their problems but most of the time we employees appreciate the person's anger with themselves for being late and the fact they are projecting that anger outward to those who would serve them. I try not to take it too personally and I make an effort not to laugh at the ludicrous things that often take place, at least when people aren't looking ...sometimes laughing is the best way to relieve the tensions that arise!
Then there's the people who come to the station, some of them daily, just to hang out. A few homeless people drop by early in the morning to warm up and use the washroom. There's one fellow, not a homeless person, who comes in to check every vending machine, ATM and phone in the terminal for change left behind. City bus drivers even pop in from time to time to use the washrooms while on their route. Police officers come by watching for suspects that might try to skip town and people who assist the down-trodden also come by to purchase non-refundable tickets for transients to get them back to their own home towns where they might find help and support.
It can be an active place, and certainly it's an industry that is much needed given the current economic and environmental situations being faced today. I'm proud to be a part of such an important operation and hope people make better use of public and mass transit over the days and years to come. If I can continue in the field until I'm ready to retire I'll be very satisfied with the choice I made to work at a bus terminal.
(Not to mention the many stories there will be to tell between now and then!) ;)
So, we're adopting a greyhound from Going Home Greyhounds. I'm super excited. It's not official yet, but we're sending in our application and stuff, and we have our eyes on a few that we like. Linkage:

I want the last one (the male), but no one else does. I feel bad, because it seems like EVERYONE wants a "small female". I want to be different, and I want to give Cairo a home! But, alas, I seem to be outvoted.
He sounds like he'd fit our family perfectly.
Post more later,
Sarah
I'm gonna be leaving to go to the bus terminal to get on the bus that will be taking to me to Michigan.
The next time I blog to you, it will be from another house....
It's gonna be awesome!
Stay awesome, guys!Pray for me!
