When you ride the same rails day after day after day, you get comfortable with the character of the tunnel. Like an old shoe, you know where it's slow, where it runs fast, where that little nudge to the left, and the stop and go (not to mention where it's stinky too). And you read those signs to tell you where you are, or if something is wrong. So it was a bit of a suprise last night, when the train took an unexpected slow and go. A real slow and go slower. That's not right. Doesn't feel like a track worker delay (no horn). Not a signal, stalled train delay (we weren't stuck in the tunnel for half an hour). Certainly not a traffic jam (no stop and go and stop and go, plus, it was very late at night). What could it be? Oh, that's it. They've elevated the tracks. With 2x4's. That are sitting in water. Welcome to the MTA. :: Stupid sitemeter. Just when I need it the most, the site is down! I'd much rather use nedstat, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to use it with blogspot. It can be done, because I've seen people using it. :: Perfect. Just perfect. I have to keep quiet. There are things afoot. Bad, bad things. Things that mean I'll have to be sending out my generally lackluster resume soon. And that's all I can write because, apparently, people now read my blog. OK, 2 people. But they're very chatty. If I knew who they were. Which I can't. Because sitemeter is down. Perfect.
