Rain catches subway riders off guard

Posted on September 5th, 2006 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

So this afternoon’s rain continued right into the evening commute time, and I don’t think people were prepared. I have a feeling that tons of people left their apartments not even thinking that there was a chance of rain today.

I have to admit, this morning did seem pretty promising.

As I look around myself right now, I don’t see many people with umbrellas. There are a lot of riders sporting the “wet cat” look where they are completely soaked to the bone. I did see a woman in blue hospital scrubs coming out of the subway station as I was going in. She was SOAKED. It looked like someone hosed her down. But hey, who’s gonna argue with a nurse in nothing but wet scrubs, right?

I’m also noticing a lot of people with their sweatshirt hoods pulled up. Nothing like a wet towel on your head.

Luckily for many (mostly women) it has been a little colder lately, so many ladies left the house with light jackets. Now those jackets are playing double duty as rain slickers.

Where are all the simple white t-shirts on the ladies when you need them most?

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

    Aw, that was a really high quality post. In theory I’d like to write just like that too – taking time and real effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and also for no reason seem to get something done.

    An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I believe that it’s best to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but typically individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

    I have observed that car insurance businesses know the motors which are at risk from accidents along with risks. Additionally, these people know what kind of cars are inclined to higher risk and the higher risk they’ve already the higher the actual premium amount. Understanding the easy basics with car insurance will help you choose the right type of insurance policy that could take care of your needs in case you happen to be involved in any accident. Many thanks sharing a ideas with your blog.

    Many thanks for this article. I would also like to say that it can possibly be hard if you find yourself in school and merely starting out to initiate a long history of credit. There are many scholars who are just simply trying to pull through and have a long or beneficial credit history can be a difficult element to have.

    Based on my research, after a foreclosed home is sold at an auction, it is common for your borrower to be able to still have any remaining balance on the financial loan. There are many loan providers who attempt to have all fees and liens paid off by the up coming buyer. Having said that, depending on specified programs, laws, and state laws there may be many loans which aren’t easily handled through the exchange of lending products. Therefore, the responsibility still remains on the customer that has had his or her property foreclosed on. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this weblog.

    I’d personally also like to convey that most of those who find themselves devoid of health insurance are typically students, self-employed and those that are not working. More than half with the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not really feel they are needing health insurance since they are young as well as healthy. Their particular income is frequently spent on real estate, food, and also entertainment. Most people that do work either full or part time are not presented insurance through their jobs so they move without due to the rising cost of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the tips you discuss through this web site.

    Thanks for your posting. I also believe that laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular lately, and now tend to be the only kind of computer employed in a household. This is because at the same time actually becoming more and more inexpensive, their computing power keeps growing to the point where these are as potent as personal computers through just a few years ago.

    One more issue is that video games are generally serious as the name indicated with the principal focus on learning rather than entertainment. Although, there’s an entertainment part to keep your sons or daughters engaged, each and every game is generally designed to develop a specific set of skills or program, such as numbers or technology. Thanks for your publication.

    Thanks for the tips you have discussed here. Another thing I would like to convey is that laptop or computer memory needs generally rise along with other developments in the technological know-how. For instance, any time new generations of processors are introduced to the market, there’s usually a corresponding increase in the shape calls for of both the pc memory and hard drive space. This is because the program operated by way of these processors will inevitably rise in power to take advantage of the new technological innovation.

    One thing I want to comment on is that fat reduction plan fast is possible by the proper diet and exercise. Someone’s size not just affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, along with physical abilities are influenced in an increase in weight. It is possible to do everything right whilst still having a gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the culprit. While an excessive amount of food instead of enough physical exercise are usually the culprit, common medical conditions and key prescriptions can greatly enhance size. Thanks alot : ) for your post in this article.
