Paper Trains | Aleph One
https://aleph1beth1.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/paper-trains
Random musings from a disoriented mind navigating the chaos of the city. The ride engenders the questions: Why have we allowed our cities to decay to this point , and Why isn’t rail service cheaper/faster/more widespread? And I know many of the answers, as I’m sure you do. But it’s a doubly melancholy reflection. By Aleph One on June 27, 2010. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

So, to make a short story long, when the conductor on the G today (one of the few trains remaining that doesn’t have the soulless computerized station announcements) cheerfully belted over the speakers notice of our arrival at the Metropolitan stop, he exclaimed,.

Masters of the Universe | Aleph One
https://aleph1beth1.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/masters-of-the-universe
Random musings from a disoriented mind navigating the chaos of the city. Masters of the Universe. The masters at work, determining our future. So, I determined how much money millions of workers will receive from their employer pensions today. I’m still in shock. Why, you may ask, was I chosen to wield such power?
