You are most welcome.

Train rides are nice. 😀

[milagros317]

Much nicer than bus rides, anyway. 😀 😛

I agree, I have had more of my fair share of those. 😛

Yes, I remember that you had to use several buses to commute to work. 🙁

The bus situation here is a lot worse now. I think you cant even buy a bus pass anymore. You have to either pay the fare on each bus you get on or buy a one day pass which runs about 8 dollars.

Its what happens when City Government and the MTA try to "help" the public.

Beware of any government agency that want to "help" you.

Reagan use to say the 11 most terrifying words in the english language are "I am from the Government and I am here to help."

Ah, yes, I remember that fine quote. 😀 😛

Yup. One of my favorite quotes. 😀

Gerald Ford wasn't too bright but he was smart enough to say that any government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take away everything you have.

Very true. They seem to always promise the former and always deliver the latter. 😉

Magaret Thatcher use to say "The trouble with socialism is you always run out of others people money." 😛

That's what they are doing in Greece now, trying to find more "other people" in the E.U. whose money they can loot. 😱

Exactly what always happens. The British Health Care system is looking for more "other people" as well. 😀
