    That's a great idea... Rip out seats to have more people stand on a moving bus, so when something bad does happen, more people get more severely injured... No problem because when the lawsuits come rolling in the taxpayers foot the bill... More passengers and you don't have to buy more buses and nobody has to take responsibility... Win-win-win!!!

    When I was growing up I was in love with technology and science and really believed as time went on people would use all this knowledge to make a better world... God is it friggin disappointing to see stuff that I read about as concept while in high school, finally available and just being used for stupid stuff... All this knowledge and nobody is getting any smarter... I hate Google, but it summed it all up for me when I couldn't get it give me link info I was looking for using a proper query, so I dumbed it down and started typing "how big is..." And the first fill-in suggestion was "Kim Kardashians ass"... Thank you Google... I suppose that's what more people (or "Pepe" as the iPad just removed correctly spelled "people" for) are looking to know.

    Wow!  Love this post.  It's like I'm looking in a mirror.   Movie "Idiocracy" had it pegged.

    her royal cheesecakeness is kinda heavy.  can't run with her and hold the cane at same time.  lol

    I did not realize you had a cane... Well, actually I did, but I thought you were joking or it was something temporary... I actually only noticed it recently in some comment... Sorry to hear... I guess I missed whatever happened. I hope it wasn't traumatic or permanent.  I've had lots of broken bones and sprained limbs, so if you want any tips on how to hobble rapidly in case there an opportunity to heist another royal cheesecake, I can help you plan your caper... Get well and feel better.

    Well, turns out the job isn't in Austin, it's in Round Rock which is north of the city.. stupid California headhunter.. fortunately, light rail from Austin gets me within about 7 miles, which is taxi distance, and the raise I got is enough to cover the extra travel expense!  Still.. curse mutter.. bloody headhunters.. angryangry

    Ticket reserved, will pick it up tomorrow.  Now it's just a matter of waiting.. I hate waiting..

    ..I hate that.  I 'll get an offer that says "Portland OR", but when I check out the address I find it's in one of the far flung burbs like Hillsboro Tualatin, or Wilsonville (not even the same county  as Portland) where getting there on transit is an "adventure" or (as in the case of Wilsonville) impossible. Even had one that ended up being in Vancouver WA.

    I think it's the fact a lot of headhunters just pick the nearest major city and use that, not condisering that not everyone wants a two-hour commute! angry Bozos...

    Regardless, I've found a pile of carpools to get me home from work, whioch cost about 1/2 of what a taxi would, so that helps.  I should be able to find a rideshare/carpool up once I get there, as well.  I do NOT want to live in Round Rock until they get at least some rudimentary bus service going. Only last year did they start work on a transit plan, so it'll be a while.

    Uber and Lyft are both very active in Austin, as well, so I have a bajilion options.  It's one of the reasons I love Austin, it's a fairly progressive city and we get all the new tech and stuff almost as fast as Silicon Valley does! laugh

    ..yeah Madison WI is similar in that way: an island of progressiveness in a state moving backwards.

    Ha, I said "we".. I'm going to just tell people I'm from Austin, it's my adopted home! laugh

    Heck you've lived there longer than in Tusla, why not?

    True, and once I say I'm fron Austin I don't have to explain being a bit odd.. lol!

    I hear they should have transit in Red Rock around 2020.. heh.  I'm likely to make the vanpool/carpool folks rich! surprise

    Just finiahwd food and booze shopping, as I gave away all my stored food to the hardwre guy who still hasn't found a job. sadI hope he finds something soon!!

    Today is Arbys Day.. eating a big roast beef right now, in the fridge is a beef n cheddr nd  reuben!  Tomorrow, wings and beer!

    Close to finishing my halloween track, after lunck I focus 100% on it and no vodka until it's finished! Ha, crrot and stick effect.

    Happy Halloween!

    by Tjohn

    The ghosties and the spookies,

    Come for candies and for cookies,

    Come shambling and scrambling,

    Through neighborhoods are rambling.

    Dressed as witches in stitches,

    And zombies shuffle in twitches,

    Causing frightmares and nightmares.

    With great glee as they spread scares.

    They come booing and bleating,

    For sweet treats to be eating,

    Or tricks will be the fate of the one,

    Whom the shout "Happy Halloween!" shuns.

    It's slacked off here for the moment, but more is expected.  I35 is shut down in a couple of places down south, like Buda and Kyle.  The airport is shut down too. I think we'll be okay here.

    lots of lightning and thunder but no rain here :)

    ...woke up to lots of rain and wind here this morning. Joints, muscles and bones aching something fierce even after a "Motrin dose" (double dose) of Advil™. Going to rain straight through Monday with winds kicking up again tomorrow.  So much for Halloween party plans.  Just going to stay home where it's warm & dry.

    Fortunately I picked up a bottle of Canadian whiskey yesterday to ward off the effects of the weather.  Had a steaming bowl of New England Clam Chowder for lunch perfect on a chilly damp day. like today. 

    My doctor approved me to receive "Honoured Citizen" status on the buses and trams, so yesterday I went down to the Transit Authority's office to get my card.  Finally, half price for single fares and tickets as well as I can now get a monthly pass (good on the trams, streetcar and buses) for only 28$ (instead of 100$).  Now all those young healthy whippersnappers have to move out of the front seats for me.

    Getting a seat on a bus slunds good, they are ripping them out here to make room for more ppl to stand up :)

    ...I'd expect to hear something like that being done here in the US.

    So what about older folks there? I can't see them having to stand and "hang on for dear life" on a bus that is lurching about on rough city streets.

    Heck surprised the domestic airlines haven't done that yet (though RyanAir contemplated installing ten rows of "standing berths" on their 737-800s and even removing the loos to cram in as many passengers as they could get away with).

    Wow!  Love this post.  It's like I'm looking in a mirror.   Movie "Idiocracy" had it pegged.

    ...indeed. I have always been bothered by having to stand on a bus in city traffic not just because of my bad joints and all, but because it presents a real safety hazard.

    The danger was clearly illustrated for real here in Potland when a few years ago, a cyclist, wearing all dark clothing with no lights, blew through a red light right in front of a crowded bus, forcing the driver to lock up the brakes to avoid hitting him.  Everyone who was standing was thrown to the floor (resulting in several being injured a couple fairly seriously) and some seated passengers even ended up in the aisle from the abrupt stop.  Had the driver of bus not slammed on the brakes and hit (most likely killing) the cyclist (who was the one clearly at fault), she would have most likely lost her job, her licence, and ended up on the wrong side of a civil suit from the cyclist's family.  To this day, that "ninja cyclist" (as we call them here) has still not been tracked down as the video from the bus is very indistinct.

    As to no one getting smarter with all this information available at one's fingertips, I agree.  Keep in mind the what the Net is primarily used for.  That hasn't changed in centuries and probably never will.

    Too many people living here now for the transport system to cope, there are new roads and tramtracks and railways being built everywhere you look and new trams and trains "launched" every second day.

    My doctor approved me to receive "Honoured Citizen" status on the buses and trams, so yesterday I went down to the Transit Authority's office to get my card.  Finally, half price for single fares and tickets as well as I can now get a monthly pass (good on the trams, streetcar and buses) for only 28$ (instead of 100$).  Now all those young healthy whippersnappers have to move out of the front seats for me.

    Getting a seat on a bus slunds good, they are ripping them out here to make room for more ppl to stand up :)

    ...I'd expect to hear something like that being done here in the US.

    So what about older folks there? I can't see them having to stand and "hang on for dear life" on a bus that is lurching about on rough city streets.

    Heck surprised the domestic airlines haven't done that yet (though RyanAir contemplated installing ten rows of "standing berths" on their 737-800s and even removing the loos to cram in as many passengers as they could get away with).

    Too many people living here now for the transport system to cope, there are new roads and tramtracks and railways being built everywhere you look and new trams and trains "launched" every second day.

     

    multipass :D

    It's slacked off here for the moment, but more is expected.  I35 is shut down in a couple of places down south, like Buda and Kyle.  The airport is shut down too. I think we'll be okay here.

    lots of lightning and thunder but no rain here :)

    ...woke up to lots of rain and wind here this morning. Joints, muscles and bones aching something fierce even after a "Motrin dose" (double dose) of Advil™.
