Today I'll give equal time to the other side:
Top Ten Things I Love About Riding the Subway:
1. The haunting music of the Aztec flutes as I ride the escalator up from the 7 Train.
2. People who give up their seats to the elderly or young mothers with children.
3. Getting there in half the time of a bus or taxi.
4. The magic of perfect timing when I'm changing trains.
5. The neverending diversity of performers, hustlers, panhandlers.
6. Watching the rats scurry along the tracks.
7. Helping a stranger find their way to the right train.
8. The mosaics, tilework and other decoration.
9. Churros.
10. Grand Central Station.
There's a real dark side to being flavor of the month. (I've experienced it more than once.) Look at how God treats His "chosen people" in the Old Testament. One minute they're chosen, the next a rebellious and stiff-necked generation. You can't ever believe your own press. Good to keep in mind.

Thoughts for Today:
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. ~Jeannette Rankin
They are not all saints who use holy water. ~English Proverb
We teach children how to measure, how to weigh. We fail to teach them how to revere, how to sense wonder and awe. ~Rabbi Abraham Heschel
The Gospel of Jesus is not a victory dance for well-to-do Americans who want it all, including eternal life. ~Tom Ehrich
God is nothing like us, but we are God's creatures, and the divine fingerprints are all over our experience. ~Barbara Crafton
Religion is a journey into the mystery of God. It is not a system of beliefs and creeds and when it becomes that, it always becomes idolatrous and begins to die. ~John Shelby Spong
America can be great again, not by asserting military might, but by standing for something more than big cars, big houses, big-screen TVs and big walls along the Rio Grande. ~Tom Ehrich

I don't remember churros on the subway?
I do love the convenience and certainty of the subway.
There are folks who sell churros on the ramp down to the 7 train every afternoon. very delicious... (probably very illegal)
