Hello folks, I am seeing the writing on the wall here. I go by this same name at the place in the world wide web where the firmament is the fifth color of the rainbow. Hope we'll be seeing each other there mutuals

It's the one hour of one night a year the east coast and the midwest are in the same time zone.

Shin Yokohama Line couples/friends costume with one person as Toyku and the other as Sagami Railway

of course my brain decides to give me a costume idea as the first thought in my head on the morning of November 1st. typical of my adherence to deadlines

@berkie1 one of my teachers in a public MA middle school was one of the church people who would go to protest Haunted Happenings. she was a piece of work

@greghuntphoto @ericfisher I love Franconia Notch but it's such a shame that I-93 slams through it. Crawford Notch has a highway through it too I suppose but at least US-302 has the decency of keeping scarce in the environment

Get government regulation of human remains out of people's funerary practices. Let people practice the bone picking ceremony of a Japanese cremation. Allow Indian open pyre cremations. Let an actor donate her skull to her community theater to play Yorick. Build Seldec Ossuaries.

@NaqiyNY iirc there was a period before the Dearborn Subway was built where they were considering a subway-surface/premetro streetcar tunnel instead and I often wonder what that would have turned out like

@brooksbos Anniversaries are really tough. Wishing you the best. Your strength through such terrible loss is admirable.

@sandypsj It's a shame they can't have it be the Silver Star switching to Superliners instead of the other way around. I like going CHI-BOS the long way around w/ Capitol Ltd instead of LSL because the Superliner coach seats are so much more comfortable for tall folks vs Amfleet II seats.

Can we get some of these in Lynn for the bus stops chronically blocked by parked cars? There are some route 450 stops on Western Ave that are so bad about this, it's less common to board the bus from the curb than it is from the middle of the lane.

@the_lettuce_cat It's the only Chicago style hotdog I've had, but I liked Flub A Dub Chubs. Good milkshakes too

Reroute 450 and 455 buses at West Lynn Garage into a secured bus only corridor, fenced/gated/razor wire/etc, that skirts across the GE campus to the Lynnway + new West Lynn station.

Avoids Revere traffic, but keeps Western Ave bus service. Maybe saves time on deadhead moves

Lynn Dinky. Shuttle that just goes back and forth between Central Square and Market Square, with a stop at Commercial St.
