I'm sure some of you have been waiting with bated breath for the next installment of the saga of Becky and the Bus System. Today's rides were fine. And I found out what had happened on Wednesday to cause what turned out to be a very long delay was a traffic accident.

The driver of my usual bus going from the office to downtown Chapel Hill told me this after saying she had thought I had given up on her. I said I had on Wednesday, at which point she told me about the accident. She got interrupted, so I don't know the details.

One thing that made me smile this morning on the way to the office was a little girl riding the bus with her mother. I'm not sure where they had been, but wherever it was had been tiara-worthy to the little girl, who was dressed in pink and wearing a tiara with pink stones in it.

I'm a firm believer that every little princess should have tiara-worthy occasions, especially since the tiara-wearing little princesses usually have such happy faces. I'm not sure it's possible to refrain from smiling at them.

I heard a lovely tribute to Rosa Parks the other night when Tavis Smiley spoke of how he came to know her. The transcript of it is available here. And I definitely think it is meet and right that Mrs. Parks will lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol's rotunda.
