A new day, a new hope. I tried again today. Same time, same result. I'm starting to think that a different route is the better way.

I have a theory on why the subway is taking longer than usual. The subway scare in NYC is obviously making transportation officials of metropolises around the world very nervous and jumpy. The TTC, in particular, likes to err on the side of caution. Add to that some nervous, stupid, or possibly just regular plain crazy passenger and you've got yourself a recipe for delays and long waits standing up.

'Course, I really don't want to try the other route. Not only is there more interchanges, it also passes through Kennedy station. I dislike intensely this station. It smells like pee, gangbangers and mallrats tend to hang out there, and it is way too crowded for comfort. And it smells like asparagus pee. The RT passes through a recycling plant that smells better than the pee. Not much better, mind you.

After the NYC threat you'd think less people would be using the subway. You'd think that but you'd be wrong. Moron.

Seriously though, as an avid user of public transit, I never gave the threat much thought until now. I guess I figure if it happens it happens. Plus, I trust my observation and survival skills. I can tie three different types of knots and cook a squirrel if I have to. Well, that seriousness didn't last.

It's probably time to go to bed. With thoughts of subway cars blowing up comforting me to sleep. Wonderful.
