Noticing Irony

I noticed I fooled around tonight until nearly midnight and didn't get my blog post written.

I ran an errand this evening and noticed something. I intended to get a picture on my way home but it was dusky dark and my phone probably would not have captured the scene very well.

But, imagine, if you will, an empty and faded yellow school bus on the side of a busy road, obviously broken down and waiting for a tow ride into the shop.

Now imagine the name of the company that is posted on the side of the broken down, empty, faded yellow school bus:

Dependable Student Transportation

Do you notice the irony? 

Bless Pat (an expression in my family, I do not know who "Pat" actually is), isn't it the truth that not everyone or everything that announces itself as "dependable" is actually dependable? Yeah, I've noticed that, too! 

But still, grateful for those around me who are dependable!

    1. True! I am noticing a lot of things! Writing about them is supposed to me my project for October. I'm very hit and miss about the writing part!

  4. I remember "noticing" a dry-cleaning business in this neck of the woods years ago called "Greasy Dry-cleaning", the owner's name, I suppose, but it surely left me wondering how many customers they drew with that moniker...

Don't just sit there staring, say something!
