Important mind-reading
On mornings when I use the bus, I always start at the same time and always see the same people. One of those people is an efficient fast-moving woman, dressed for business, who passes me on a narrow dirt path. She's heading for the 22 and I'm heading for the 33. We usually exchange a quick nod or hello.
Today she stopped me and said:
Did you see the sign about the survey on the bus stop?
Yes.
Did you take it yet?
No.
Today's the last day!
Okay! THANKS for the reminder!!!!
And I meant it.

I'm always surprised to see empathy in others. This was almost mind-reading. I had noticed the sign and had been intending to do the survey but forgot.
After taking the survey, I see why she was pushing the point! The NYC demons who run STA are proposing to remove this segment of the 33, which will remove my ability to take the bus.
Thanks, empathetic mind-reading lady!
And NO THANKS, EVIL STA MONSTERS. As fucking always, STA is trying HARD to delete all of its existing Deplorable riders and replace them with COOOOOOOOOL NYC people who NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER use a bus under any circumstances.
Maybe it's time to get serious about the electric bike in previous item. GM's version won't do, but there are plenty of others that have decent carrying capacity.
