MTA Did not have to ride the subway today.

The quality of life without the MTA is so much sweeter than on days that we have to ride the train. Today I’m so calm. Monday I was trapped in s nightmare. Walked to 50th and 8th to get the C.  It was about 10:45.  No signs that the trains were not running but a message displayed that the C would be arriving in 3 minutes.  In the meantime an A chugs past in the express track and then the light starts blinking to signal the approaching C.  What happens?  The C races past in the Express track.  It is then 11:05. The next A is schedule for 9 minutes later.  The situation does not look promising.  It’s raining out but what the hell?  Better to get a little wet and get home than to stay underground in the damp smelly depressing station waiting for Godot. The train might not ever come.
