I created this website and this subsequent first post because, in the last few days, I have encountered at least three things that I hold a near uncontrollable urge to rant about or discuss in depth. As Twitter limits me to 140 characters and Facebook is obviously purely for stalking, I’ll post here.
Tonight, I boarded my usual SEPTA train, or as I not-so-affectionately refer to it, The Fail Rail, and headed on my merry way home. Halfway into the journey, we were informed that the train was “out of sand” and therefore having a difficult time climbing the slope towards our first station stop.
Another twenty minutes in, and we were forced to disembark and wait for the following train, which evidently had the necessary sand.
Now, I’m not one to judge. But it seems when water falls from the sky, nothing in Philadelphia seems to work correctly, notably SEPTA. This is understandable, because when SEPTA was created back in THE 1800s, there was no such thing as rain, so it is just silly to expect them to adopt new technologies to cope with falling water.
Anyway, welcome to my poorly conceived Tumblr. Enjoy your stay, have a few laughs at my expense, and just keep swimming.
