Well, that blows! Day pass here is $2, 30 day pass is $30.. best transit deal in the country, I think.
Bus cuts, feh. Feh. FEH!
...yeah, our commission is head over heels gaga in love with Light Rail. I feel we are living the Simpson's Monorail" episode, where the flim-flam man comes to Springfield and sells them on a monorail line telling them they aren't a "real city" unless they have one.
A monthly pass is 100$. I can't afford that kind of outlay at the beginning of the month with rent and other bills also due. I have to use ticket books to spread the cost out to fit my budget which is both more expensive in the long run and more limited. They used to have a seven day pass where you scratched off (like on a lottery ticket) the dates it was to be valid for, but like anything simple, useful, and economical, they discontinued it. The new version can only be purchased at an automated ticket machine which are only located at light rail stations (none near where I live without going out of my way), and are instantly activated at time of purchase. You can't buy one in advance (like with the old ones) unless you don't mind losing one day's use.
They continually make it more complicated, discouraging, and inconvenient to ride the bus and are under the delusion that will attract more to want to use the system.
They also recently raised the minimum age for senior fares from 61 to 64 (yeah I was "that close" to finally getting a break). It used to be 55 when I first moved here.
I'm In Love With Light Rail! (The Musical) (Finale)
I'm head over heels
In love with light rail,
I'm in love, I'm in love
With light rail!
There's no better commute
When I put on my suit
And travel the tracks
To my job!
It's ever so neat
When I grab a good seat
And catch up on
Yesterday's news!
'Cause I'm head over heels
In love with light rail,
I'm in love, I'm in love
With light rail!
(Musical Interlude with tap-dancing that sounds like a train on the tracks)
At the end of the day
I rush all the way,
Just to get on aboard
And go home!
And the clickety-clack
As we roll down the track
Always puts a big smile
On my face!
I'm head over heels
In love with light rail,
I'm in love, I'm in love
With light rail!
(He is joined onstage by a host of people dressed in business suits, dancing and singing in the big ending)
We're head over heels
In love with light rail,
We're in love, we're in love
With light rail!
Oh you never can fail
When you travel by rail! (hold on last note)
We're in love, we're in love
With light rail!
(Curtain)
...yep, the theme song of my transit system. I have to send that to them.
...[in my best spoiled princess voice] "Buses are so yesterday and so boring. Like gag me with a transfer already, where's that sleek multi-billion dollar light rail train daddy promised me?"
...did that this morning.
With how tenuous things seem for me at my workplace, I need a retirement plan. I am sick of my 2+ hour each way multi-bus commute everyday, dealing with crowds and people I don't wish to communicate with. Standing around in the rain for fifteen to twenty minutes (several times a day) because the transit system is too cheap to put up any shelters and they keep reducing schedules so the waiting time for connections becomes ever longer. Sick of paying ever higher ransom like fares for dwindling service.
I need a bleedin' break.
...too funny.
(was on the same Page as the round animals).

waking up to winter wonderland outside. still snowing. iz reeediculous. won't last, tempys going to the 50F. yayy
staying home today allll day. hunker, yes hunkering for the duration of flaky stuff falling from big sky. 4-day weekend.
day for installs, renders, bake yogurt muffins. walk buppy for a snowy romp.
whipped up the pancake recipe from joyofbaking. i added vanilla to the recipe and used light brown sugar instead of the white.
warming the syrup in the oven worked great, thanks k.k. for the tip.
pancakes, strawberry syrup and a lil spritz of rediwhip :)
I had an idea of a drake "stealing" someone's bed and refusing to give it up for a looong time now, but only just now sketched it. I drew this up in... I think about 7 ~ 10 minutes and no references used (Even for the drake surprisingly).
Originally I had a blue drake in mind, but I have no idea how to draw 'em so I opted for an even cuter Netherdrake. Actually, I've never drawn one of them either XD (Without references. I do have one drawing of a netherdrakey in my gallery)
So, this drake is all cranky that someone barged into the room and woke him up. I don't think he's too keen on relinquishing "his" bed either. Approach this guy with caution XD
It's Friday, Friday, and you've gotta get down on Friday! (Rebecca Black flashback)
Off and on drizzle, and I left my umbrella at home (ugh). Warmish, so it's not as bad as it could be.
Have to go to the bank after work, then to my room - sometime soon it's a Walmart run to put money on the prepaid card. Not a rush.
My Red Room site is getting more traffic, I must be doing something write (lol)!! :bug: Have to keep blogging and writing!
My breakfast taco got cold and my diet Coke got warm. Meh. :-S :-S And microwaving a tortilla is a sure way to produce alien life forms! :ahhh:
Back to reading manuals.. ugh..
Friday complaints! :snake:
- Left umbrella at home and it's drizzling
- Office has no espresso machine
- No coffee shop in walking distance
- Stuck with soup for lunch since it's raining
- Too many story ideas for one person to write in a lifetime
- Terminally lazy today
- I think I burned up my test hardware :red: :red:
- Sleepy and cranky and fussy and crabby and grouchy and grumpy all at once :ahhh:
- Tired of reading manuals but need to learn new software ASAP
- Can't get the stupid Rebecca Black song "Friday" out of my head :ahhh: :ahhh:
- Neck hurts, need a massage, can't afford one :down:
Non-complaints:
- Great deal on books on writing on Amazon today :)
- "Lord of Dawn" book on Quetzalcoatl is incredibly fascinating :)
- Have CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP! :cheese:
- Have some extra money after bills and prepaid card reload :coolosmile:
That covers it for now. :coolsmile:
Winter *@$!ing winterland out there! My arborvitae trees are bent over again. I went out at 1:30 am to whack the snow off. It looks like there's even more snow on them now than there was at that time! The next town over was reported as having 15 inches already, on the Boston Fox 25 channel. Still windy, still snowing hard. Diane is wanting to go to work...in Newport! That's normally a 45 minute drive. I don't know what the road conditions are. They haven't even plowed our street yet.
Meh!
Dana
Dang! Stay warm, stay indoors and STAY SAFE! :bug: :bug: :bug:
*tries unsuccessfully to email some nice hot cocoa*
Thanks, Wooly! I just looked out the window, and I have to go out there and try to clear some snow off those trees again. But I'm not going to shovel anything yet. After that, I'm going to have something to eat and watch something on TV. Then maybe I'll do some work on my website.
I uploaded some pages before I went to bed last night (OK, this morning) and something didn't work right, so now I have to figure out what the hell I did wrong.
Dana
iz still snowwwing.
snapped a view from my window :)
TEA or chocolate milk? ... yeah, chocolate milk :)
I want to try chocolate flavored almond milk
Chicken and corn chowder soup for lunch, with a bag of regular Fritos - nice and hot on a dreary rainy day!
Got word my last firmware changes for this one product pass tests with flying colors, that makes for a happy Friday! :cheese:
BUT.. trying to program a weird timer on the latest new product fails, looks like the manufacturers code isn't doing the Right Thing(tm).. meh.. I'll bash the freaking registers directly, myself! :blank:
Nom nom nom nommmmmmmm...
Needs a snow bikini! (^_^)d
Morning. Hot again Hot hot hot.
>:( >:-(
Thanks for the HU, tjohn. Was just ready to do some downloading, but I think I wait a bit.
Needs a snow bikini! (^_^)d

Seems OK now. :)
Draggy looks sleepy and cranky :lol:
Looks amazing :)
Didn't really sink in that snow and ice would be weighty and make stuff bend, amazing :lol:
Friday On My Mind is a famous Aussie pop single - the Easybeats (?)
Yes Easybeats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBJLoYd8xak
watching firefly episodes. the Safe episode ended with them eating together at the common room table. realized it makes me smile, the simple happy scenes.
then started comparing to gilligan's island. if Inara is Ginger and Kaylee is Maryann, who would River be?

Yes, this stuff is really heavy. Just spent several hours shoveling. Not sleepy tired, but physically exhausted. And when I came in the house, it was still snowing. So tomorrow I'll have to shovel some more. I think we probably got close to 24 inches. There are drifts again, all along the fence in my back yard. Some look to be three feet deep! Tuesday it is supposed to be in the 50s (F). Crazy.
Pizza is in the oven, so I'll be off watching TV with Diane in a little bit.

The artificial snow made to ski on is kind of light and kinda fluffy and doesn't last long. I guess that is completely different.
