A gloomy Wed?

For once I'm politically proud to be from Ohio.   Hillary won in my home state, which I was pleasantly surprised by!  This is amazing progress!  People are ready for change, at least I think.  Although we still have a split in our country supporting the efforts of top running Republican who want to continue this war in Iraq amongst many other things.  Isn't it time we realize it hasn't been working...and it's not gonna work? Now the real fun continues...

So here in New York I often find my internal thoughts somehow verbalizing themselves...either me forgetting that I'm actually speaking out loud-or something else happens.  My endless frustrations with the daily subway commute seems to never end these days.  Perhaps a few things need adjusting so that I can get over this.  But today of course was no different.  I hopped onto the Q and for the most part all was well until almost in Manhattan and the train is stopped for almost 15 minutes because of problems with another train.  Good lord.  So I'm thinking the entire time...wow how convenient is this...they just INCREASE the monthly fare by $5.00 and they still can't get their shit together.  And I'm starting to get pissed about this and wondering why they increased the damn fare.  I mean seriously if you think of all the people here who buy monthly passes...they are making a damn fortune just on the increase.  So I let it go.  I get off at Union Square to transfer...of course this is the part I'm dreading.  Alas the 4,5, and 6 continue to be more and more packed.  Now seriously why are there not more trains running....and tell me WHY is there not MTA employees working the damn line yelling at people who try to push their way on at the last minute and cause delays because the doors wont shut??  So I manage to squeeze onto a train just realizing that I'm going to have to rush to work once I'm off the train because I'm running late--which shouldn't have happened since I left early.  I'm standing in this crowded train when ALL of the sudden my thoughts of the morning came to life when I hear a high pitched angry female voice scream..."IS ANYONE ELSE WONDERING WHY WE ARE PAYING INCREASED FARE NOW??"  I was the first to just shout out YES YES YES!!!  Ohhhh boy....they got a lot of work to do!!
