Stuck

The boys had a snow day today, so I thought I'd just take the bus to work & not worry about driving in the mess that 10 inches of snow had made of Des Moines. After I got on we headed up 34th and turned left onto Clark. A passenger got on at 33rd. When the driver hit the gas, the tires just spun. Backed up a few feet multiple times to no avail. Finally backed back onto 34th. On the final try, the rear tires just slid into the curb and now we couldn't go forward or backward. Rescue bus came along 5 or 10 minutes later, but dropped us all downtown. Took the #7 the rest of the way. Three buses later, i finally made it to work.
