I see old people

Posted on August 29th, 2006 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

I just heard the subway pulling into the station as I was walking downstairs. So, I ran through the turnstile to get down here. Unfortunately, I had to jump into a car that I usually don’t get in.

I’m what you call an “end-rider.” I prefer to ride near the very front or rear of the train. I don’t know why. It is just the way it is. Today, I had to jump in the middle car. And I am not happy about it.

It is like another world in here. I have no idea how a different section of the train could be so different.

First of all, I must be the youngest on in here by 30 years. I guess the middle cars must be closest to the stairs or elevators. I honestly feel like I am on the senior center activity bus. A third of them are asleep…or at least I hope they are asleep.

They all have thos tractor trailer size grocery carts filled with lord knows what. How the hell do they get those down here? Oh and bags on their heads. Guess that’s how you can tell if it is going to rain. Just look for old ladies with platic bags on their heads.

Here’s my stop. Gotta get out of the death car. Till later!

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

    Even worse is running for a train and jumping into a car that you normally don’t ride in a train that turns out to be heading in the wrong direction. I’ve done that.

    The ends are the best because you can see in front of you (or behind) It’s cool to look up ahead or behind you.

    I agree with josh, I have never been comfortable sitting in the middle it makes me feel uneasy. I guess when you get used to doing things a certain way its hard to do it another way.

    I’ve learned new things by means of your weblog. One other thing I’d prefer to say is the fact newer laptop os’s often allow extra memory to be used, but they furthermore demand more ram simply to work. If a person’s computer cannot handle much more memory and the newest computer software requires that storage increase, it usually is the time to shop for a new Laptop. Thanks

    In these days of austerity along with relative panic about running into debt, many individuals balk up against the idea of making use of a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or even pay for any gift giving occasion, preferring, instead to rely on the tried plus trusted way of making transaction – hard cash. However, if you possess the cash there to make the purchase 100 %, then, paradoxically, this is the best time for you to use the credit cards for several motives.

    It is my belief mesothelioma is most deadly cancer. It’s got unusual attributes. The more I actually look at it the greater I am confident it does not conduct itself like a real solid human cancer. When mesothelioma is a rogue virus-like infection, then there is the prospects for developing a vaccine and offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are open to high risk associated with developing potential asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas for this important health issue.

    I have seen many useful things on your web site about pc’s. However, I’ve got the thoughts and opinions that lap tops are still less than powerful adequately to be a good choice if you generally do jobs that require a lot of power, for instance video croping and editing. But for web surfing, word processing, and majority of other typical computer work they are okay, provided you do not mind small screen size. Thank you sharing your thinking.

    One more thing. It’s my opinion that there are lots of travel insurance sites of trustworthy companies that allow you to enter your trip details and get you the insurance quotes. You can also purchase an international travel insurance policy on the web by using your current credit card. Everything you should do is to enter all travel information and you can understand the plans side-by-side. Merely find the program that suits your allowance and needs after which use your credit card to buy that. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to start looking for a reliable company for international holiday insurance. Thanks for giving your ideas.

    One other important area is that if you are a senior, travel insurance for pensioners is something you should really look at. The old you are, greater at risk you are for allowing something undesirable happen to you while in foreign countries. If you are certainly not covered by several comprehensive insurance policies, you could have several serious issues. Thanks for expressing your advice on this web site.

    One other thing I would like to mention is that rather than trying to match all your online degree classes on days of the week that you end work (considering that people are tired when they go back home), try to arrange most of your instructional classes on the saturdays and sundays and only a few courses in weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your weekend. This is beneficial because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be extra rested plus concentrated in school work. Thx for the different points I have figured out from your web site.
