Yeah, You Crazy...










Let me get this straight,
  1. You can't sleep
  2. You can't eat but are still gaining weight
  3. You have zero free time
  4. You cry twice a day
  5. You hate your job
  6. You hate school
  7. You're taking prescribed mood-stabilizers so that you can deal with all this?!?!
Yeah, You Crazy!

Metro: Opens Doors...

Apparently open doors aren't welcome in every community.

The long talked about (little acted upon) "Purple Line" is moving closer to fruition these days, but par for the course it is receiving some opposition. Because the route of the proposed light-rail or busway system would connect rich and poor neighborhoods, the "haves" are none too happy.

There are two sides to every story and for this one I sit square on the fence. I LOVE METRO. It gets me where I need to be and for the most part its pretty reliable. (Dont believe me? ask the people who use BART or Filthadelphia's rail system) I can at lease see the argument that is made about providing easier access to potentially undesirable people.

When all is said and done, I am sure there will be some compromise on both sides and the purple line will open sometime after 2010. Its quite ironic that the opposite is felt when it comes to rail to Dulles.
