"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the Jolly Roger and begin to slit throats" HL Mencken
Why I'm here
Actually, I am Shy and Retiring despite my brief stint as a choruster in The Pirates of Penzance (see above pic), but not afraid to let others know what I'm thinking or feeling-within reason, of course. This blog will record my odyssey from "working- stiff" to retirement and inevitable curmudgeon hood. I hope to describe some of the the twists, turns, and gyrations that I anticipate I will need to go through to allow me to feel that I have remained a productive human being. I also reserve the right to make sardonic comment on the ironies and visiccitudes of life as I experience them.
Actually, after rereading that quote, I don't see any errors with what he said. The point of public transportation is to reduce the need for individuals to have to take their own personal transportation, i.e. cars. Trains are a type of public transportation. The more trains available, the less cars will be needed driving into Manhattan. Thus, the new tunnel provides for automobile traffic and the reduction thereof.

I knew you would be a fantastic lawyer.
