You probably are a supporter of that atrocity that runs down Main street in Houston as well.
I think it would be nice if they expanded that thing so it came out here to Cypress in the NW 'burbs. I had to drive downtown last year for jury duty. Good grief, was that ever a PITA. They barely reimburse you enough to pay for the parking, let alone gas mileage and meals. It would've been a whole lot easier just jumping on a light-rail system, and simply riding it all the way in to downtown rather than deal with all that congested traffic on unfamiliar streets. Heck, with a decent mass transit system, I might even go down there to see some ballgames too! But right now, I'm pretty content to stay outside the Beltway as much as possible.
Sure Willie! Let’s spend a few billion more to expand a service that loses more money with each passing day!
Good grief!

Hmmmmm....
Long story made short:
Sometime shortly after the crack of dawn, I had to go in to this big auditorium with a thousand other people.
We filled out a bunch of forms, watched a video about what they were gonna do to us, and then we just sat there and waited. Every now and then the boredom was interrupted by some guy who called for some group that depended on what number they gave you. By mid-afternoon, most of the auditorium was empty and they told the rest of us to go home, we weren't needed.
And to think I had to drive through morning rush hour traffic to get downtown to go throught THAT BS!!!
Sheeesh.....
