Also, our friend the buddhist monk, suggested that while being grounded is good ... perhaps the velocity with wich I apprached being grounded was not so good

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The days are getting noticablly shorter. I am not sure the last time I time-shifted, but the morning was significantly darker at 5:30 this morning than it was the last time I did this. I think it is about an hour behind where I remember it. I enjoy my seasons, but dark mornings and evenings are sad-making.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Emily!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Emily!!
I noticed it being darker yesterday evening, too.

I don't mind the dark, because I love autumn in New York so much. I can't wait for it.

Woot! Congrats, Emily! Hope it works out well (given that it's not precisely what you were hoping for).

Woo Hoo Emily!
I have a question for mass transit commuters. I am thinking about giving up my car. I live in a city that doesn't have the greatest mass transit, but luckily, I live on a main bus route and work at the largest employer and hospital and university in the area, so it is actually possible for me to get most places by bus. BUT most trips are, like an hour to 2 hours for something that would tak eme 15 minutes by car. Or, I have a nice 3 minute trip to the grocery store, but to get back takes much longer. Is this sort of normal in terms of transit, and one just finds things to do, or is this excessive and annoying. I am just not sure. I can get a bus pass that lasts for 31 days that is unlimited for $56.00, which is half of what I spend in gas in a month, and, frankly, I don't really go anywhere except to work and to the grocery store and maybe to Target.

Can you try not using your car for a month and see how it is, before you give up your car for good? That's what I would recommend. Or, can you keep your car, use the bus for work, and only use the car for shopping trips and stuff? The reduced gas useage even in that case would likely offset the price of the bus pass.

For a year, I lived near the center of Rochester, and took a bus out to RIT, which involved a transfer.
Waiting for a bus outside at 7:30am in the winter was nasty.

More than an hour vs 15 minutes sounds like a huge PITA to me, frankly, and I'm a non-driver. In NYC, a lot of trips take longer in a car because of traffic, parking, etc., but if that's not a factor, I don't know.
I guess the question is, is $50 a month worth the amount of time you'd spend on the bus. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't -- depends on your ratio of time to money.
