Random Thoughts of the Day August 13, 2026

 

• A neighbor who drives the Q44-SBS told me that about 70% of customers don't pay the fair.  People on SBS buses enter through the back doors that allows loading faster to hasten the trips.  But doesn't that defeat the purpose when so much money is lost to the MTA?
• I don't understand why people talk about their medical problems  through social media.  Some even post photos of themselves in hospital beds.These issues should be private.
• I don't know who is worse, the Dylan enthusiasts or the baseball superfans.  Two young ladies who do a Dylan podcast say they enjoyed the film Hearts of Fire.  I think it is just about the worst thing Dylan ever did.  Some of the baseball "nuts" will travel to all ends of the USA to see games over many years.  They often will see two games in a day.  They'll see the Mets in the day and the Brooklyn Cyclones at night.
