My unconscious body can get me showered and dressed, drive me to the DART parking lot, and put me on a train. Not the RIGHT train, and there can’t be more than 2 red lights or I get confused; but it WILL get me on A train. Where I get off is a function of how soon I wake up. (Which is generally a function of when the nice officer prods me for a ticket.)
By the time my brain went through POST* I was on the orange train speeding into downtown. That’s not unusual but required a transfer to get to my final destination but I DID notice something odd. There was.. a color scheme I wasnt participating in. Younger people mostly, all wearing the same shirt. Well- different shirts of the same color and type. Not all wearing the same shirt cause where would they all sit? I dont remember a school on the train line, but wouldnt that be cool? I would dig that for maybe the first few weeks. Imagine the possibilities! I mean, some horrible ones too, but what a social experience! Teaching (hopefully) kids to navigate public transportation and interact with each other to accomplish a common goal. That goal being to get somewhere youre trying to go. I think thats pretty worth it. It’d need to be really safe and maybe some kind of system should be in place to discourage abusing the means of transportation- but still. Wor- wait, Here’s my stop.
