MTA
Why is the MTA's budget each year referred to as a "doomsday" budget?
They vote on it every year, and every year it's approved, and every year
they get subsidised by the tax payers and toll payers. So why is it a
"doomsday" budget? They're not going out of business, although it sure
seems their worker's union would like to see that happen given their
demands.

Don't they have better things to do?
It has come to my attention that Congress, in their infinite wisdom, has
decided to write legislation against television commercial
advertisements having a louder perceived volume than the actual
programming.
While I do sometimes find this annoying, do we really need an act of
congress to outlaw this? Shouldn't our representatives be doing
something better with their time, like repealing hundreds of laws that
hinder the free market economy and trample the Constitutionally
guaranteed rights of the citizens?
Of course not, that would threaten their power.

Who... What are you?
I was running earlier tonight and around mile 7 I was going up a steep,
winding, dark hill. Near the top a couple was walking their dog. They
saw the flashing
lights on my shoes and wrists and, when I got close to them, the
woman said, "We were trying to figure out what you were."
"I'm a runner."
