Evening Commute -- March 3, 2010

Look! My computer is finally back! Huzzah!

Got to Government Center at 6:19, just as a C line was pulling away. A B line came at 6:20, and an E line at 6:21. I got on a D line at 6:22. It moved excruciatingly slowly underground, who knows why? But here are some musings and observations from tonight's commute:

(1) Why can't people take their newspapers with them when they get off the subway? Is that a difficut thing to do? Stick it in your bag, throw it out when you get to wherever you're going? Really?

(2) A girl asked me if she could sit in the seat next to me. I was surprised by that, as I didn't have my bag on the seat, so it's not like she really needed to ask permission. Normally, people would just slide into the empty seat. However, once she sat down, she said to me, "Sorry, is this train going to Kenmore?" and I realized that she had been so polite because she doesn't normally ride the subway.
