And how do you think the guy that posed for that ad felt? He's like, "Damn man, this isn't right, but fuck it - I need to get paid." Awesome.

The trains that came through didn't say which branch of the the north/south line they were. Luckily, we picked the one that took us to the end of the line where our car was parked. About half of the passengers had to get off one stop past the branching station to go back one stop to get on the right train. And my first impression is that the black guy was on the lookout for suspicious packages, but then I was raised in the South where we learned our lessons about racism in the past.

How rude! I've only just discovered you and would be most miffed if you suddenly up'd and went. :-) You were going? How rude!
