Serendipity at the MVA




I just left the MVA (Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration) where my driver’s license was converted to MD.  I took a MetroAccess van there because I couldn’t get there using mass transit on three separate occasions; each time I ran out of time, energy or patience.  I figured that once I was there I could figure out how to get back home using mass transit, as I have never had a problem finding my way home.

The MVA’s Largo office is, if you are from the big city like I am, in the middle of nowhere.  It’s just off a main highway in the middle of a car-centric area where everything looks the same.  I knew that we came from the highway, so I headed in the opposite direction to try and find a bus stop.  I walked past a couple (she was watching him smoke a cigarette) and toward a man who was standing at a stop sign.  As I approached I noticed a sign for “The Bus” (Prince George’s County Commuter Bus).  Right at that moment “The Bus” to the Metro pulled up.

How cool was that?
