save the m30 bus!

in a couple of weeks the mta's m30 bus (route: between west 57th and 8th to east 72nd and york) will no longer be in service.

i know i'm not the only one who is upset about this, because i ride it every morning, and have heard many a complaint about it.

this morning, someone asked the bus driver to make an announcement over the loudspeaker; he didn't, but allowed her to take the phone and make it herself. she said, "we, the m30 riders, can save this bus!"

so call, fax, email or snail mail the mta, the straphangers campaign, your city councilmember, mayor bloomberg or anyone else you can think of... it can't hurt!

mom-question-quotas

i have a brilliant idea.

i am going to limit the number of questions my mom is allowed to ask me. after a certain number i get to just ignore them.

i don't have to answer questions that i've already answered or ones that i can't possibly know the answers to, but they still count in the tally.

i haven't decided how many questions, or if i should count per day or week, but i'm working on it.
