well federal workers are supposed to be riding bikes or walking.
Devastated this area for far longer than 3 weeks.
That is an OUTSTANDING essay. Hard to believe it was written in 1963. All the ills described by Mr. Chamberlain are far worse today than they were in 1963...and the Republic is far closer to collapse than it was 56 years ago.

What she said, and I am paraphrasing, when you read all the old stuff you have a lot more in your basket to pick from when you write.
Exactly
True
The weeks starting just before Christmas through mid January are dead for taxis so for Uber as well.
No one is going to work. Or medical appointments. Or business travel. Or conventions.
