Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Our mayors ride the subway and go to jury duty, but they aren't the transit board.

Okay, so my points don't actually relate to the conversation in any particular way....
I'll just be over here in the nonsequitur corner.

Huh. Except actually, now that I look it up, according to Wikipedia, it turns out that mayor Villaraigosa is on LA's transit board. From the Governance section:
Metro is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors comprised of:
The five Los Angeles County Supervisors
The Mayor of Los Angeles
Three Los Angeles mayor-appointed members
Four city council members representing the other 87 cities in Los Angeles County.
The Governor of California appoints one non-voting member.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I actually found the quote on NY1:
“If you're going to ride on a subway with an open container of coffee, whoever's standing next to you is going to get coffee on them, because there's no way you're going to be able to keep the coffee in the cup," said Feinstein.
!!!!
(In fairness, the MTA has a ban on "open containers", but it's never been explained what that is.)

Too groggy and tired but:
Kat! If you're not gone yet, was this near where we hiked that one time?
Yes, I think so. And the location seems right.

Who do you think told the Greeks to store explosives in the Parthenon, during their revolution??
It was the Turks.
Although I'm okay with blaming Reagan.
So our neighborhood has been removing the existing sidewalk and putting in non-slip concrete (like you have in America). They are also touting the new handicap access ramps on each corner. Which is great, since the walkspace on the sidewalks is 12-14" wide. A stroller doesn't fit, let alone a wheelchair. [link]
I suggested to Robert last night that we go as Medea and Jason, but he says I can't drug Mallory for costume purposes.

A fireball! How very neat, I'd really love to see one!
I've been sleeping badly, what with all the excitement over buying a car and all, so last night I took my remaining Sonesta... and I did sleep pretty well and deeply, and physically I'm also doing pretty well, except that the sleep-hangover is pretty fierce....
