Final Stats

Pittsburgh to DC was my final bus leg, which means I’m now back home!

The DC Greyhound station doesn’t present well upon initial arrival — you’re in the parking garage:

But you then emerge into Union Station, which makes it rank as the nicest bus station of my journey. (DC locals who dare challenge me on Union Station’s greatness, we need to talk).

Since I’m home, it’s time for the final stats for this #workabout:

  • Days On Trip → 27
  • Overnight Stops/Places Visited → 12
  • Travel Brain Farts → 2 (including the original)
  • Places I’d Go Back To → 11

  • Average Spent Per Bus Hour → $14
  • What Flight Home From Seattle Would Have Cost →$350
  • Average Cost Per Flight Hour → $59
  • What Bussing Home Without Stopping Would Have Cost →$250
  • Average Cost Per Bus Hour → $4
  • Miles Walked → 256
  • Miles Walked Pushing A Car → .004
  • Pictures Taken → 1,294
  • Pictures Of Water → 652
  • Pictures Of Bridges → 651

    2 lol moments from the last post — Time spent on your script, and eating salads out of a hotel ice bucket — that one is priceless.

    I think I found a new line of work for you. People pony up some dough to send you out on adventures and you give us daily reports like these. This was so entertaining. I think you should do that motorcycle trip in South America next.

    Who’s with me? Can we resurrect the Traveling Idiot!!?? I’d pay $50 a month subscription to send you out in the world. Surely we can get 50 people to do the same and pick up a couple of sponsors for you. I’m serious. You’re a great writer, you just have an annoying voice. But we can work on that so you can do both some live streaming and written work.

      Haha, kinda like this show (which is great) → https://www.youtube.com/show/SCU220wBRjTr8wS0YfXHrGCg. I’m in! The money should start rolling in ASAP.

        Yeah, I watched that show. Turned out that Karl’s naivete was not as genuine as we were led to believe though. A bit disappointing. However, that was ancient TV. This will have more reach, cheap production costs, and interactive. We can have subscribers vote on where you should go to next. Kind of like a crowd-funding feature. #travelingidiot. you can do live feeds on the tiktok too and we can get sponsors. I’m telling you, this is going to be Huuuuuuge!

        I love your entrepreneurial spirit! You’ve put some thought into it, so I guess I should as well. Thanks for the idea! (and, really hoping this wasn’t just a ruse to get me on TikTok)

    I have embraced Beardsilly and am honored by my accolades. I will continue to sharpen the dull edge of my wit. It’s like sharpening a rock with a butter knife
