Thank you to Rikesh Shah for speaking to our class today. It was interesting to learn of innovation within public transit. I hope we can increase the prevalence of efficient public transportation throughout the United States. #engsci139

@tylerneville10 Thanks so much @tylerneville10

Just downloaded the #EAFC24 game on PS4 for my sons @PlayStationUK

Can't believe the first game had an invisible goalkeeper! Surely, this game must have been tested given it sells for £89.99 or does @fabinski @WestHam have special powers??
