Ah... How do you say?...... Mode of Transportation!

I will state at the outset that I am a liker and user of Public Transit, I use it when I can and it is not unreasonably slow. That said, on days when it is raining/slushing/snowing I would almost rather be in my own truck. Then I think about it and really want to slap myself for even letting the thought cross my mind.

I work every few weeks at a large teaching hospital in the city for extra cash. This allows my wife and I to keep our sanity... and home... the last two times I have worked I have gone back to riding the bus/train combo to get there. It takes about 25-30 minutes longer but is much less stressful. I have also taken my camera both of the last two times to document the trip. Probably won't be doing it much through the winter, as there will be little light to work with... Anyway and without further ado here is documentation to prove that I did indeed do my bit to save the environment... and other drivers from my driving!

Pick me up....
Waiting in the rain.

On foot here, stairwell of the parking structure I walk up/through to get into the hospital.

Going home on an empty train. Except for the really shy lady who refused to have her picture taken.

There is something melancholy about windows with rain on them, sometimes melancholy is good.

The view from the other side of the camera. A local TV station has their new studio on the ground floor with the backdrop being the street. I occasionally like to look in, just not when they are filming. The idiots that stand there and do silly things make me ill. I have always wondered if I would even be able to talk sitting on this side of the desk and camera!
