Taking the train home last night.  As soon as I get to my station I can tell there's going to be a problem.  There are way more people standing there than there normally would.  A transit worker in giving some instructions - he says that no trains are going northbound, but that they are running southbound.  That's good, cuz I'm going southbound.

But 5 minutes later we're then told that no trains are coming to this station.  We all should go to the next station.  That's not a huge deal - it's only 2-3 blocks away.

But when I get to the next station an announcement is coming over the intercom.  No trains are running most of downtown.  Bussing will be sent... eventually.

But it sounds like trains are running at one station downtown.  By the legislature in the SW corner of downtown.  Which is unfortunate because I work in the NE corner.  But oh well, I head off.

After a half hour walk I get to the station.  Yup trains are running.  I wind up getting home an hour late.  Good thing the kids don't have soccer on Wednesdays.

Bah - that sort of thing happens every couple of years.  I remember another time when high winds snapped several crossing arms, which meant the trains couldn't run through those intersections.  I waited for the replacement busses, which took something like an hour, and made me late for work.

But how often are there problems in traffic?  All the freakin time.

It rained yesterday, so I took the subway instead of walking home. At the exit was a university student doing fundraising for the WWF.

When she tried to talk to me I told her that I'd never forgive them for what they did to Bret Hart in Montreal in '97 and walked on.

She seemed confused.

She might not have been born back then.  :P

And there's a very good chance that she wouldn't consider WWE worth notice.  :P

Somebody tried to kill themselves across the street. So I watched the cops and medics for a bit this morning. Then a scarecenter 7 TV van showed up and I disappeared before they wanted to talk to me.
