This Space for Rent

Buzz buzz buzz goes the bumblebee, and whoosh goes the #19 bus

I was out at the bus stop waiting to go home for lunch today, when I got distracted by a yellowfaced bumblebee working one of the butterfly bushes that surrounds the bus stop. I'd pulled out the pentax and was leaning way in to take some extremely close pictures of the bee (a note to the wise: bumblebees don't like being bumped by camera lenses, and tend to fly about in an extremely menacing manner after being jostled off their flower) when I heard the rumble of a diesel behind me and turned around to see the #19 bus accelerating towards the 1st street intersection (and, needless to say, away from the bus stop, the butterfly bushes, the bumblebee, and me.)

It was the Jonathan Richman reference in the title that caught my eye.
