I’ve taken a lot of trains. Generally, traveling by train is quite pleasant. Especially since they started assigning seats. I’m old enough to remember that when you bought a train ticket, it was only a boarding pass. We’d all line up at the gate and once they opened it, it was the wild west. I mean, everyone has a ticket, so in theory, everyone has a seat. Still, people ran to the train - pushed old ladies out of the way, elbowed little kids - just to get a good seat.

Last month, I drove out to London. Let’s not get into the reasons for this right now, you’ll be able to read about it in my next book, which is hopefully coming soon. But this wasn’t about London, this was about when I arrived home.

I equally dislike bikers, pedestrians and drivers. Let me explain and agree with me or not, I don’t really care. Primarily, I get around the city by bike, my feet or car. I’ve seen bikers blast through stop signs without even looking. Pedestrians with strollers jaywalk across streetcar track laden roads in front of buses. Cars? Too many things to include just one dumb example. So, when I’m biking, I hate pedestrians and drivers. When walking, I can’t stand bikers and drivers. When driving, I lose my mind with pedestrians and bikers.
