I miss taking the "Metro North" into NYC. Never for work, though, as I worked locally then. Just for the joy/excitement of the NYC of then.

What a shame it's these days reportedly mostly a place to go to get violated. I mean, not that I believe "the media" (see also: "The Make Shit Up For Profit Industry") much anymore. But such devolution is pretty easy to imagine in this part of the world, so....

I take the metro north a few times a week- it's not so bad, much better than the subway, and that's coming from a habitual denizen of the 2 a.m. train (definitely an interesting experience). never gotten harassed, even when dressed for raves or punk shows. good people watching.

If this was for pleasure I might be more relaxed. I admit the most I have been 'exposed' to people in a long time.

Actually quite impressed.

Sadly I have a mind that looks for issues and problems. NASA have a concept they call lack of imagination, maybe we should work for them? Gate crashing a asteroid that was just minding its own business...
