wrote in part in response to:

I've never heard anyone say, "I'm selling my car so I can buy a bus pass."

that:

I came fairly close once.

"Close".
Horseshoes and hand grenades.
I rest my case.

I sold my car to move to New York City, 8 years ago. I don't miss it.
Sometimes I even ride the bus.

Selling your car to move to a preferred location is hardly the same as selling
it so you can by a bus pass, now is it? My statement stands. I've still never
heard anyone say, "I'm selling my car so I can buy a bus pass."
Glad the move worked out for you btw.

You went to lengths to describe how unpleasent you perceive it is to
use public transit. You feared having to sit with 'strangers' and
lamented the bus has to frequently stop to board these undesirables.
Rather than seeing it as normal social interaction, it becomes a
frightening proposition only undertaken by desperados.

First, a total of three sentences outlining what most people think are
drawbacks to mass transit hardly constitutes "going to lengths to describe...
unpleasant[ness]". Second, why do you impute fear to anyone that prefers their
own space to crowds of people? Third, you seem to be reading a lot into my use
of the word "strangers". Frightening, undesirables, desperadoes... those are
your terms not mine.

After several years of reading his posts I'm not at all surprised that Zoot is
left of center. Why the tail though? I didn't think he was into the aero look.

That's more tail than I've ever seen on a bicycle.

You aren't just whisling Dixie, Bob.

That's a thing we say in the South when we are certain of your
analysis.

But is that worth a bent canary on payday?
