I don't think I know that panthers can survive in our area because I only live 14 miles away from lake fort phantom where they live, and if panthers can then creatures like Bigfoot can live hear comfortably as well an never have to worry about being Hunted Especially with the fact that our Predominant Fish Species like Largemouth Bass,White & hybrid striped bass,Blue & flathead catfish,White crappie and Freshwater drum are plentiful. (Info on our Bigfoot) On July 6, 1977, three youths in Hawley, Texas, encountered what could be described as a typical Bigfoot-like creature. The encounter began on a hot day at 10 am while two teenage boys - Tom Roberts (age 14) and Larry Suggs (age 15) - cleared brush from the property of the Abilene Boy’s Ranch. While sitting on the ground, taking a rest in the shade at a location not far from the surrounding tree line, the boys began to get hit with small rocks. Confused at first, the teens looked around in hopes of finding the culprit, but they could not see clearly through the dense brush and trees in front of them. Suddenly, the pair were hit by stones again, but this time around they were thrown harder as if in anger. With their arms in front of their faces in order to shield themselves from the stones, the two young men began to shout at their unseen assailant to stop. As if taking pity and granting them what they wished for, the stone throwing stopped and everything went quiet. Relieved, the boys lowered their arms and turned to leave, but as they did, the sound of snapping tree limbs echoed from behind them as if something large was approaching. As the pair fled the area, Larry turned to look behind him in hopes of seeing what the thing was that attacked them. What he managed to see was a brown haired, giant ape standing between the trees...Terrified, the duo ran to the closest residence for help, the home of Mr. and Mrs. McFarland. As the teens frantically pounded on the door for help, the homeowners' daughter (Renee, 15) answered and let them inside. After explaining what had happened, Renee grabbed her fathers deer rifle and handed it to Larry while stating that they should go back to the location of the assault and kill the thing that had attacked them. bviously wanting to get revenge on their attacker,the newly formed trio made their way back to the ranch and prepared to stop the monster once and for all.Upon arriving at the tree line, the trio started yelling and screaming in hopes of bringing the creature back out, and oddly enough, it worked. From the woods emerged a 7ft tall, shaggy-haired humanoid looking creature with huge arms that hung down past its knees.The face was flat and looked like an ape, but still resembled a man.Obviously terrified, Renee shouted as loud as she could for Larry to shoot it, and then he took the shot. The recoil of the blast knocked him backward onto the ground and the creature took off running back into the thick brush, he had missed his target. The trio of teenage monster hunters made their way back to the Abilene Ranch and started sharing their story.One of the men who listened to the trio was the manager of the Abilene Ranch, Mr. Bob Scott. After hearing the tale, Mr. Scott informed the local sheriff's department about what had happened to the teens and reminded them that the location in which this wooded area passes through is the exact same location where he had recently lost 21 of his goats over the past few days. The same location that the sheriff's department searched only a few days prior and ended up finding four carcasses that appeared to have been buried under various brush piles. While the officers involved claimed coyotes were the cause of the deaths, they could not explain where the 17 other goats had gone, they had simply vanished. Scott though was adamant that something much bigger than a coyote had to have been responsible.He felt this way because the goat enclosure wasn’t broken into and no damage to the fences was discovered, rather it appeared that something snatched the goats out of them and simply carried them off.As word spread around town that a ape like monster had attacked three teens and was almost killed in the process, the local paper jumped at the chance to write about it. Soon amateur monster hunters from all around Texas began to flock to Hawley, stocked with an assortment of weapons and a burning desire to be the one to bag the beast. Not long after the hunters started to arrive, a wealthy Texas oilman and geologist by the name of Jack Grimm posted a $5,000 bounty on the beast, but there was a catch. Grimm stated that the only way to claim the bounty was to capture the Hawley Him alive and that the creature also had to be previously undiscovered and unidentified by science. Needless to say, after Grimm posted his bounty, the monster hunter population in Hawley nearly doubled, and that was exactly what the Texas oilman knew would happen. You see, Jack Grimm was no stranger to monster hunts, as this was his third $5,000 bounty on a cryptid creature. The other two, which he had going on at the same time as this one, were for the live capture of the Texas Big Bird (a Thunderbird first sighted in 1976), and the Loch Ness Monster. He had also previously paid to have both a news reporter and photographer flown out to the Pacific Northwest in order to search for Bigfoot. Monster hunting was nothing new to Jack Grimm.While nothing ever came of the search besides the discovery of a few large human-like tracks, the overabundance of hunters in Hawley tromping around looking for the animal who made it no longer safe. Not wanting to be killed, the giant 7ft tall man-ape did what any creature would do in that situation,it left the area for a safer home,The Hawley Him is reported to have made its way 20miles southwest (over the course of 4 months) to the town of Merkel, TX. Once there, it quickly got to work making its presence known.The Merkel sheriffs department was first alerted to something odd going on when a man by the name of Eugene Danielski called at 8:25 pm on Saturday, November 26, 1977, to report that something had snatched his collie from his property and that he could not locate it. A sheriffs deputy went to the property located at FM Road 1235 and helped Danielski search the area for his beloved pet, but just the like the missing goats of Hawley, only a carcass was found. The body of the collie was discovered near some brush with broken bones and its entire throat ripped out. The sheriff's deputy believed the cause was a coyote and returned back to the station.That same night around midnight, the sheriff's department phones started ringing off the hook. Residents all along FM Road 1235 were calling to report that their pets and livestock had also been taken from their property. Everything from cats to chickens were being snatched away and killed, and the deputies investigating the calls were as usual unable to find the thing responsible.Although coyotes were initially blamed, the sheer amount of animals that went missing in the affected area was impossible for coyotes to the culprits as they tend to hunt alone and rarely kill more than one or two animals before leaving an area.No evidence or prints of the creature responsible were ever found and the sheriff's department was left stumped.The final call in this strange series of events came in around 2 am. A resident living near the end of FM Road 1235 called to report that they had seen what appeared to be an upright, tall, hairy thing running along the side of the road before turning and jumping over a fence. The moon was somewhat full so the caller was able to watch uninterrupted as the creature made its way to a wooded area and disappear within it. And just like that, the Hawley Him was a local Bigfoot and on occasions you can hear them roaring and hooting,I say them because I've heard and seen 3 different groups of our bigfoot and all were led by a alpha male.The Hawley Him was one of many Bigfoot-like creatures that were reported on during the monster craze of the 1970’s. It possessed all the common traits and behaviors...and many in the area feel that the Hawley Him is real and not just alive and has a healthy population number...but also That it is a legitimate Sasquatch that was making his way through the area and just happened to get an entire city all riled up. Some even claim that the beast never truly left the area... as modern sightings of Sasquatch-like creatures occur throughout the entire state of Texas and Merkel TX pretty frequently.

So did the daughter actually have access to her own money in order to do this? Even though I agree the dealership is very sleazy, what they are saying is correct - they can't turn down every sale where it seems like the person has some disability - and the law does not say that adults with down syndrome are supposed to be treated like children. If the mother, in this case, is in charge of all decisions for the daughter - why was the daughter allowed to start this repeated communication with a car salesman, without the mother knowing or intervening? It is well known that car salesmen and dealerships are dishonest, desperate, and sneaky.... so why does she blame the dealership for not turning away her daughter - when as they said, they are legally prevented from doing so?

guardianship does not always mean under direct supervision. they could ask to see her drivers license or for the name of the person who will be driving to assess. they could ask about her budget and how she plans to pay to assess if she could really be buying. if a sale had gone through, it would be void as she is under guardianship and her signature is not legally binding

Because it is quite obvious that she has a mentally disabled capacity and unable to make material cognitive purchasing decisions on her own.

Please explain in succinct details how it that is bad parenting, over-protective, "enabling"? OK then mochajones, you have any Dementia-affected or Alzheimer-affected or mentally disabled family members that I can contact and sell a car to that should be able to "live their life to the fullest" and spend their money and buy a car without your interference, because I have some very expensive Ford Mustang GTs that I need to move?!?

Again, the fact that CityLink's drivers are stressed isn't coming from nowhere. CityLink's drivers are stressed because CityLink is massively understaffed. CityLink is massively understaffed because their great drivers keep quitting. Their great drivers keep quitting because the pay rate is abysmal. THE SOLUTION IS TO SUBSTANTIALLY RAISE THEIR PAY!
@charlesmichael19022 күн бұрын
If this is a new problem, call me crazy. I'm a disabled person, and I've had rides with CityLink from March 2023 to June 2024, and there is so much wrong with their ADA paratransit service that it's honestly infuriating that not much has changed in a year. I've talked to a lot of drivers during my CityLink rides. They're not narcissists like one bloody commenter would like to have you believe - if anything, their humility and honesty was the one redeeming factor of CityLink. I always asked them about how things are going with CityLink, and the conditions, and what they have to deal with. And I asked them why there aren't enough drivers. Turns out they're always either sick or they quit because the pay rates were inadequate. One year ago (July 11, 2023) I made a public comment at what was then called the Citizens' Advisory Board for People with Disabilities meeting, urging CityLink to raise its pay rates for drivers and workers because of how understaffed they were even then. ZipRecruiter says that CityLink workers earn on average $33 an hour - some earn as low as $26.53 an hour - and SoFi Learn says that's barely livable wage, and good luck if you have children. www.sofi.com/learn/content/what-is-a-good-salary-in-texas/ CityLink's navigation system is also inadequate. They still just use a system that's powered by Google Maps, it's not fancy, and you often have buses ping-ponging and zig-zagging across the city in the most geographically inconvenient routes possible. In my own experience, using CityLink has always been a gamble with my time. They're either extremely early or extremely late. Here are some especially egregious instances of times I've had to deal with CityLink's crap. On August 29, 2023, I was scheduled to go to the Mockingbird Branch of the Abilene Public Library, and I eventually did... only after spending 80 minutes in one bus, before arriving and then 10 minutes later the bus that was ready to pick me up to go home had come. The reason why I'd spent 80 minutes on that bus, as I'd soon learned, was that an A/C unit had broke down on someone else's bus, so that driver unloaded all his passengers on the driver who was driving me. Utterly outrageous. On May 14, 2024, I was going to the Grace Museum to take some background pictures for an animated short film that I'm making. I was at the mall (I had taken some pictures at the South Branch of the Abilene Public Library) and the bus came late. I spent 80 minutes or so in that bus, as well. I was patient, and I was in no rush, really. When I finally got to the Grace Museum, it turned out that the guy who was going to drive me to Wild Bill's Pawn Shop (again, to take pictures) was already there! His shift hadn't started, and I was his first pickup, so he decided he'd wait outside the museum while I had my visit. I couldn't just let him sit out there, so I made my visit really fast and I took those pictures as swiftly as I could. (They're really good background photographs, considering how quickly they were taken.) Since my visit was so rushed, the receptionist very generously gave me a free pass to come again if I wanted. (I've since used it.) Then I met up with the driver who was taking me to Wild Bill's - turns out he was a maintenance guy doubling as a driver. Insane. Here's the straw that broke the camel's back. On June 21, 2024, I was scheduled to go to the Abilene Convention Center, to attend the book sale. I had a fairly positive experience last year, so I thought I'd go again this year. 10 AM rolls around and my bus hasn't come, even after I waited outside for a while, so I walked to 7-11 and got myself a coffee. It wasn't until after I was walking back to my home that CityLink were calling me and telling me that my bus had waited 5 minutes for me and marked me as a "no show". I know I didn't take all of 5 minutes in 7-11 just to get a coffee, so I said, "What can be done about this? Can you send them back?" and they said, "We'll see what we can do," and they said they'd send another bus for me in 30 minutes. 10:30 rolls around, no bus, even after waiting. This is how that phone exchange went: "Hi, this is Charles Michael, may I ask where my bus is?" I said. "Oh, it's just arrived at the location," they said. "Oh, well I'm outside right now, and I don't see it," I said. "It's outside of the convention center, ready to pick you up and take you to the library!" After that it was, "...Okay, thank you," and I hung up. I just had my mom take me. Bless her, she drew a map for me that took me from N 6th St to Cedar St, where the Main Branch of the Abilene Public Library is. She even pointed out landmarks, like I had to pass the DoubleTree hotel and turn at the Beehive restaurant. After feeling so accomplished and proud of myself that I walked there, I decided I'm never using CityLink again. Before any of you respond to this comment with, "Why don't you just get a driver's license, Charles?" I must say that I can't, and I don't want to. What's worse than dealing with a system as broken as this, than yourself dealing with all the laws governing traffic, constant vehicle maintenance, insurance, potentially getting towed, the existential dread lingering in the back of your mind that whenever you get behind the wheel you might die in an accident, and the other shitty drivers in Abilene? And that's besides the point, really: you also haven't considered that a lot of disabled people can't drive. Some have seizures, some are narcoleptics, some are blind. My astigmatism and nearsightedness is so bad that I didn't even pass the vision test. As I've said earlier, this overwhelmingly complex problem has a stupidly easy fix: raise the pay rate. In the last year, the average pay rate for a CityLink driver has only been raised by $7 ($26 in July 2023, $33 in July 2024) and that's abysmal. My hopes that something will be done about this in the future have proven to be yielding diminishing returns a year on. The fact that this is still a problem is majorly disappointing, so I thought I'd at least put my experiences out there.

After explaining what had happened, Renee grabbed her fathers deer rifle and handed it to Larry while stating that they should go back to the location of the assault and kill the thing that had attacked them. bviously wanting to get revenge on their attacker,the newly formed trio made their way back to the ranch and prepared to stop the monster once and for all.Upon arriving at the tree line, the trio started yelling and screaming in hopes of bringing the creature back out, and oddly enough, it worked. From the woods emerged a 7ft tall, shaggy-haired humanoid looking creature with huge arms that hung down past its knees.The face was flat and looked like an ape, but still resembled a man.Obviously terrified, Renee shouted as loud as she could for Larry to shoot it, and then he took the shot. The recoil of the blast knocked him backward onto the ground and the creature took off running back into the thick brush, he had missed his target. The trio of teenage monster hunters made their way back to the Abilene Ranch and started sharing their story.One of the men who listened to the trio was the manager of the Abilene Ranch, Mr. Bob Scott. After hearing the tale, Mr. Scott informed the local sheriff's department about what had happened to the teens and reminded them that the location in which this wooded area passes through is the exact same location where he had recently lost 21 of his goats over the past few days. The same location that the sheriff's department searched only a few days prior and ended up finding four carcasses that appeared to have been buried under various brush piles. While the officers involved claimed coyotes were the cause of the deaths, they could not explain where the 17 other goats had gone, they had simply vanished. Scott though was adamant that something much bigger than a coyote had to have been responsible.He felt this way because the goat enclosure wasn’t broken into and no damage to the fences was discovered, rather it appeared that something snatched the goats out of them and simply carried them off.As word spread around town that a ape like monster had attacked three teens and was almost killed in the process, the local paper jumped at the chance to write about it. Soon amateur monster hunters from all around Texas began to flock to Hawley, stocked with an assortment of weapons and a burning desire to be the one to bag the beast. Not long after the hunters started to arrive, a wealthy Texas oilman and geologist by the name of Jack Grimm posted a $5,000 bounty on the beast, but there was a catch. Grimm stated that the only way to claim the bounty was to capture the Hawley Him alive and that the creature also had to be previously undiscovered and unidentified by science. Needless to say, after Grimm posted his bounty, the monster hunter population in Hawley nearly doubled, and that was exactly what the Texas oilman knew would happen. You see, Jack Grimm was no stranger to monster hunts, as this was his third $5,000 bounty on a cryptid creature. The other two, which he had going on at the same time as this one, were for the live capture of the Texas Big Bird (a Thunderbird first sighted in 1976), and the Loch Ness Monster. He had also previously paid to have both a news reporter and photographer flown out to the Pacific Northwest in order to search for Bigfoot. Monster hunting was nothing new to Jack Grimm.While nothing ever came of the search besides the discovery of a few large human-like tracks, the overabundance of hunters in Hawley tromping around looking for the animal who made it no longer safe. Not wanting to be killed, the giant 7ft tall man-ape did what any creature would do in that situation,it left the area for a safer home,The Hawley Him is reported to have made its way 20miles southwest (over the course of 4 months) to the town of Merkel, TX. Once there, it quickly got to work making its presence known.The Merkel sheriffs department was first alerted to something odd going on when a man by the name of Eugene Danielski called at 8:25 pm on Saturday, November 26, 1977, to report that something had snatched his collie from his property and that he could not locate it. A sheriffs deputy went to the property located at FM Road 1235 and helped Danielski search the area for his beloved pet, but just the like the missing goats of Hawley, only a carcass was found. The body of the collie was discovered near some brush with broken bones and its entire throat ripped out. The sheriff's deputy believed the cause was a coyote and returned back to the station.That same night around midnight, the sheriff's department phones started ringing off the hook. Residents all along FM Road 1235 were calling to report that their pets and livestock had also been taken from their property. Everything from cats to chickens were being snatched away and killed, and the deputies investigating the calls were as usual unable to find the thing responsible.Although coyotes were initially blamed, the sheer amount of animals that went missing in the affected area was impossible for coyotes to the culprits as they tend to hunt alone and rarely kill more than one or two animals before leaving an area.No evidence or prints of the creature responsible were ever found and the sheriff's department was left stumped.The final call in this strange series of events came in around 2 am. A resident living near the end of FM Road 1235 called to report that they had seen what appeared to be an upright, tall, hairy thing running along the side of the road before turning and jumping over a fence. The moon was somewhat full so the caller was able to watch uninterrupted as the creature made its way to a wooded area and disappear within it. And just like that, the Hawley Him was a local Bigfoot and on occasions you can hear them roaring and hooting,I say them because I've heard and seen 3 different groups of our bigfoot and all were led by a alpha male.The Hawley Him was one of many Bigfoot-like creatures that were reported on during the monster craze of the 1970’s. It possessed all the common traits and behaviors...and many in the area feel that the Hawley Him is real and not just alive and has a healthy population number...but also That it is a legitimate Sasquatch that was making his way through the area and just happened to get an entire city all riled up. Some even claim that the beast never truly left the area... as modern sightings of Sasquatch-like creatures occur throughout the entire state of Texas and Merkel TX pretty frequently.
Such a great movie. Should be watched by Americans of all ages. 🇺🇸Spread history.
Ye
I love telling people I'm FROM Brownwood Texas, because that means I'm not still in that PoS. Most corrupt and vile individuals on the planet are in Brownwood Texas. It's the definition of a shit hole
Thank you !
I like how the first thing this mother says is "as a community". Stop right there. The community expects you to adequately care for and supervise your mentally disabled children. Then when the community does say something it becomes mind your own business or don't tell me how to parent my children...
100% the mother's fault. if you are in charge of your child, be in charge. know who she's in contact with and where she's going. it's not the community's responsibility to know what is going on with your daughter.
KZread sucks - you post something then a day or two later it disappears.
um, they can ask if she has a drivers license and pre screen for financial ability to buy before they remove her from the home
Sounds like this woman failed to take care of her own kids and is looking for someone else to blame for her failures. This is the same type of woman who would contact the news and complain about human rights abuses if the car dealership refused to sell her daughter a car because of her "cognitive impairment." People like this just want pity, attention, and to feel outraged and morally superior to everyone around them. Worthless individual.
So did the daughter actually have access to her own money in order to do this? Even though I agree the dealership is very sleazy, what they are saying is correct - they can't turn down every sale where it seems like the person has some disability - and the law does not say that adults with down syndrome are supposed to be treated like children. If the mother, in this case, is in charge of all decisions for the daughter - why was the daughter allowed to start this repeated communication with a car salesman, without the mother knowing or intervening? It is well known that car salesmen and dealerships are dishonest, desperate, and sneaky.... so why does she blame the dealership for not turning away her daughter - when as they said, they are legally prevented from doing so?
guardianship does not always mean under direct supervision. they could ask to see her drivers license or for the name of the person who will be driving to assess. they could ask about her budget and how she plans to pay to assess if she could really be buying. if a sale had gone through, it would be void as she is under guardianship and her signature is not legally binding
its likely the daughters income is SSI which is less than $1000/month
This mother is a class act all by herself. The young lady exerted her independence and instead of the mom using this as a reaching moment she's acting as if the young lady is fully incompetent. Obviously she had enough sense to speak with them and convince them to pick her up. Bless her heart. I think the mom is overprotective and enabling at this point. Let her grow up and live her life to the fullest.
Because it is quite obvious that she has a mentally disabled capacity and unable to make material cognitive purchasing decisions on her own. All the dealership did was confirm that she was an adult and then try to ram a car sale down her throat, but there is a guardianship on public record file, and she lives with her Mother. Please explain in succinct details how it that is bad parenting, over-protective, "enabling"? OK then mochajones, you have any Dementia-affected or Alzheimer-affected or mentally disabled family members that I can contact and sell a car to that should be able to "live their life to the fullest" and spend their money and buy a car without your interference, because I have some very expensive Ford Mustang GTs that I need to move?!?
Maybe because she doesn't have a driver's license or a job would maybe be a clue?!? Hey mochajones, do you have any family members with Dementia or Alzheimer's or that have Downs Syndrome or are Autistic "that want to live their life to the fullest" that y'all are being overprotective of that I can sell some cars to?
Ok?
Thank you so very much for defending the disabled people who live in Abilene Texas Human Rights.
Yes, Thank you, in spite of these other uneducated people on here voicing and defending the dealership and its fraudulent, immoral, unethical practices, and also trying to blame the Mother.
damn no comments here ..nobody likes mexicans?
how are the car dealership people supposed to know not to take her? take care of your daughter lady. don’t blame them for your bad parenting

Exactly. I would bet that the same woman would contact the news to complain about bigotry if they turned her daughter away because of her condition. Loser.
ask to see her license or for her to name how it will be driven. if she doesn't have a license and says she will be the driver, that give them enough info to deny service
😭😭😭 that don’t do anything no one even notices that ( I’m talking about the paper)
❤
James was a lot like my father in personality and looks🙌 my favorite TV western of all time!
It’s a crock of shit.. I have a Class A CDL with Passenger Endorsement with Zero Tickets and a clean back Ground. OTR 3 Years No accidents. I Submitted my application and had a Interview. They called me and told me they went with someone Else. It’s 💯% their fault they are short handed. I have talked to about 9 or 10 people that has a Class A with Passenger Endorsement that had a interview and they where not chosen.
soo,, Abilene! when we going to create our own clone of city and royal Royal rates, Carr....? i want to get to neighbouring counties we brag so much about how much about servicing!
just tell a few folks that have experience running the largest Transit system in Texas ( Dallas area rapid Transit ) D.A.R.T. I know for a fact that they'd love the big country life if they could maintain it, they drive the fleets and they'd love less stress, give them the opportunity to escape the rat race, they're professionals
Again, the fact that CityLink's drivers are stressed isn't coming from nowhere. CityLink's drivers are stressed because CityLink is massively understaffed. CityLink is massively understaffed because their great drivers keep quitting. Their great drivers keep quitting because the pay rate is abysmal. THE SOLUTION IS TO SUBSTANTIALLY RAISE THEIR PAY!
If this is a new problem, call me crazy. I'm a disabled person, and I've had rides with CityLink from March 2023 to June 2024, and there is so much wrong with their ADA paratransit service that it's honestly infuriating that not much has changed in a year. I've talked to a lot of drivers during my CityLink rides. They're not narcissists like one bloody commenter would like to have you believe - if anything, their humility and honesty was the one redeeming factor of CityLink. I always asked them about how things are going with CityLink, and the conditions, and what they have to deal with. And I asked them why there aren't enough drivers. Turns out they're always either sick or they quit because the pay rates were inadequate. One year ago (July 11, 2023) I made a public comment at what was then called the Citizens' Advisory Board for People with Disabilities meeting, urging CityLink to raise its pay rates for drivers and workers because of how understaffed they were even then. ZipRecruiter says that CityLink workers earn on average $33 an hour - some earn as low as $26.53 an hour - and SoFi Learn says that's barely livable wage, and good luck if you have children. www.sofi.com/learn/content/what-is-a-good-salary-in-texas/ CityLink's navigation system is also inadequate. They still just use a system that's powered by Google Maps, it's not fancy, and you often have buses ping-ponging and zig-zagging across the city in the most geographically inconvenient routes possible. In my own experience, using CityLink has always been a gamble with my time. They're either extremely early or extremely late. Here are some especially egregious instances of times I've had to deal with CityLink's crap. On August 29, 2023, I was scheduled to go to the Mockingbird Branch of the Abilene Public Library, and I eventually did... only after spending 80 minutes in one bus, before arriving and then 10 minutes later the bus that was ready to pick me up to go home had come. The reason why I'd spent 80 minutes on that bus, as I'd soon learned, was that an A/C unit had broke down on someone else's bus, so that driver unloaded all his passengers on the driver who was driving me. Utterly outrageous. On May 14, 2024, I was going to the Grace Museum to take some background pictures for an animated short film that I'm making. I was at the mall (I had taken some pictures at the South Branch of the Abilene Public Library) and the bus came late. I spent 80 minutes or so in that bus, as well. I was patient, and I was in no rush, really. When I finally got to the Grace Museum, it turned out that the guy who was going to drive me to Wild Bill's Pawn Shop (again, to take pictures) was already there! His shift hadn't started, and I was his first pickup, so he decided he'd wait outside the museum while I had my visit. I couldn't just let him sit out there, so I made my visit really fast and I took those pictures as swiftly as I could. (They're really good background photographs, considering how quickly they were taken.) Since my visit was so rushed, the receptionist very generously gave me a free pass to come again if I wanted. (I've since used it.) Then I met up with the driver who was taking me to Wild Bill's - turns out he was a maintenance guy doubling as a driver. Insane. Here's the straw that broke the camel's back. On June 21, 2024, I was scheduled to go to the Abilene Convention Center, to attend the book sale. I had a fairly positive experience last year, so I thought I'd go again this year. 10 AM rolls around and my bus hasn't come, even after I waited outside for a while, so I walked to 7-11 and got myself a coffee. It wasn't until after I was walking back to my home that CityLink were calling me and telling me that my bus had waited 5 minutes for me and marked me as a "no show". I know I didn't take all of 5 minutes in 7-11 just to get a coffee, so I said, "What can be done about this? Can you send them back?" and they said, "We'll see what we can do," and they said they'd send another bus for me in 30 minutes. 10:30 rolls around, no bus, even after waiting. This is how that phone exchange went: "Hi, this is Charles Michael, may I ask where my bus is?" I said. "Oh, it's just arrived at the location," they said. "Oh, well I'm outside right now, and I don't see it," I said. "It's outside of the convention center, ready to pick you up and take you to the library!" After that it was, "...Okay, thank you," and I hung up. I just had my mom take me. Bless her, she drew a map for me that took me from N 6th St to Cedar St, where the Main Branch of the Abilene Public Library is. She even pointed out landmarks, like I had to pass the DoubleTree hotel and turn at the Beehive restaurant. After feeling so accomplished and proud of myself that I walked there, I decided I'm never using CityLink again. Before any of you respond to this comment with, "Why don't you just get a driver's license, Charles?" I must say that I can't, and I don't want to. What's worse than dealing with a system as broken as this, than yourself dealing with all the laws governing traffic, constant vehicle maintenance, insurance, potentially getting towed, the existential dread lingering in the back of your mind that whenever you get behind the wheel you might die in an accident, and the other shitty drivers in Abilene? And that's besides the point, really: you also haven't considered that a lot of disabled people can't drive. Some have seizures, some are narcoleptics, some are blind. My astigmatism and nearsightedness is so bad that I didn't even pass the vision test. As I've said earlier, this overwhelmingly complex problem has a stupidly easy fix: raise the pay rate. In the last year, the average pay rate for a CityLink driver has only been raised by $7 ($26 in July 2023, $33 in July 2024) and that's abysmal. My hopes that something will be done about this in the future have proven to be yielding diminishing returns a year on. The fact that this is still a problem is majorly disappointing, so I thought I'd at least put my experiences out there.
a lot of those bus drivers are narcissists honestly, they're sitting on progress that could be made in my opinion, perhaps people only have so much tolerance for it before they're just like screw it, i miss when Abilene had 3 or more bike shops too, we need zoning that does not coincide for more 'car dependency'
Former CityLink ADA rider here. The drivers are not narcissists. They were very nice people, and in my view they were the only redeeming factor of CityLink. I'd talk to them, and they were so brutally honest about their experiences working with CityLink, and that's to their credit. The people that are sitting on progress that could be made are CityLink the company - if only the budget was better...
@@charlesmichael190 there's a lot of all round things that could be improved for sure, they do make nasty comments about the salvation army all the time if you or anybody ever come back from the catclaw walmart i think at the least that should be noted, they're definitely (opinionated)
@@incubusfamiliar I'm not familiar with this, but I don't think anybody should be crucified for stating an opinion. I've dealt with a Lyft driver who started going on about her centrist opinions, entirely unprovoked. You don't hear me whining about that. What did the driver specifically criticize The Salvation Army for?
@@charlesmichael190 well it was basically a remark sarcastically one of his favourite places in a dark undertone over the radio i think if I recall right
@@incubusfamiliar What does that mean? Your comments endlessly confuse me. You got that incensed over a little sarcastic remark, really?
