I’m a simple person, with simple life rules. I realize that many good people don’t have all the options I have.

Nevertheless, one of my life rules is don’t go anywhere that’s on a bus line. And for sure don’t ride on a bus. It’s not Eisenhower’s America anymore.

In Eisenhower’s America I rode by myself as a 12-year old, the Pacific Electric from Long Beach to downtown L.A. with stops in Watts and Willowbrook. It was assumed by everyone that I’d be safe doing so, and I was.

72 years ago. Very little morality of any sort left. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes. And they are arguably blind. No surprise at all.

And try not to live within walking range of a mass transit stop.

Maryland Light Rail has reverse commuters—hood rats head out to the ‘burbs during work hours, do b&e for a couple of hours and then pass their victims on their way back to the hood.

RE: And try not to live within walking range of a mass transit stop.

At a well kept up outdoor shopping center near here I overheard two people talking. “Shouldn’t the stores here want the bus stop moved back into the lot instead of way out on the street? They should want to have us bus customers.”
“No, I was told by the bus driver last week that the stores don’t even want the street bus stop left. They tried to get it removed, too.”

The bus riders can be seen arguing, playing loud music, asking shoppers for money handouts and worse. Sometimes on will be loudly giving their views as they show their mental problems. Sad for ordinary people who can’t drive (such as on certain medications or getting too old with physical ailments) and are behaving themselves.

Weird coincidence. I was looking through some dvds and held that old one in my hands a few minutes ago. Hadn’t thought of it in a long time.

RE: Two suspects on the loose...

Update by police: From “a man” for each one now updated to “wearing hoodies” has some “facial hair” and “wearing athletic shoes.”

((satire——until it comes true.))
