Oh, I love this time of day, watching the international departures leaving Logan from my living room window…
Getting home on the T was an adventure tonight. First, when I got to the Silver Line stop at Union Park street, the sign said the next bus would arrive in five minutes. That bus ended up arriving about ten minutes later. This is for a bus that is supposed to run every four to five minutes at rush hour.
When I got to the Orange Line, the MBTA police was searching bags. I wasn’t selected for a search, and I’m glad. I really have objections to being searched without a warrant, especially from transit police. I’d have to think about that one a bit.
When I changed to the Blue Line at State Street, the platform was very crowded. This usually indicates the train is going to be packed. Oddly, when the train pulled in, there weren’t many people on the train, but that quickly changed. As the doors were closing, this woman in her early twenties, jumped on and held the door for someone. This woman looked much older than she really was due to the fact that she was wearing way too much makeup. She finally gave up and let the door close. It appears that her party got on the car behind us. When we stopped at Aquarium, the held the door open again, and her boyfriend jumped in. How do I know he was her boyfriend? I would say that their sucking face most of the way between Aquarium and Maverick. I can’t say I blame her, though. He was pretty hot.
When I got off at Maverick, the 121 bus with the very cute new driver was waiting.
It’s always an interesting commute in Boston.
