It’s been raining today, and the sun is breaking through the clouds right before it goes down. Somehow it just makes for a pretty afternoon.
I took the lightrail yesterday for the first time, and I have to say I really like what they’ve done with it. The concept of having mass-transit like this in Seattle really makes me happy. I wasn’t really sure where it went before I used it, it sort of meanders a bit and I’ve only seen bits and pieces, but it all makes sense now. Too bad for West Seattle though. I’m sure they’re petitioning for dibbs on the next expansion.
I’ll admit, we’re a small city with a lot of obstructions like hills in odd places and masses of water confusing everything. Still, We have places to go. KC Metro has served me well at every turn, but the subways and tubes and lightrails and BARTs make me jealous. I like knowing I can travel (relatively) long distances without getting stuck in traffic. I don’t even think I mind that it stops occasionally, some of the stations are pretty swanky. I’m so glad we’re catching up with the world.
