… are currently transporting one of my photos around town! The gals at Bellingham Birth Center so liked the photos I took of my friends Jen & Josh that a few months ago they asked to use one for the advertisement they were planning to put on a WTA bus. It’s not every day that one of your photos is rolling around town on a transit bus, so I contacted WTA to figure out how I could get a picture of the ad. Maureen McCarthy, WTA’s Community Relations & Marketing Manager, arranged to have the bus in question held in the bus yard for me one afternoon last week. I think the ad looks pretty great!

Always one for a learning experience via field trip, I thought it would be fun for Asher and his little bro Christian to join me. While we were there, Christian had a question for Maureen: how does the bus lower itself when it comes to a stop and why does it make that cool “psssssssshhhhhhht” sound? Maureen didn’t know the answer herself, but we set off to find someone who might. We got to have a look around the bus bay where the mechanics who keep the busses running do their work. It was pretty cool to be able to take a look underneath a bus, and Christian got the answer to his question: air bags near the front wheels automatically deflate when the bus comes to a stop! Thanks Maureen, both for your help in arranging the photo and for going the distance to satisfy an inquisitive seven year-old’s mind : )
