Future of the hobby

We've got a reasonable mass transit. They just punched the W line through east/west light rail. Stop is across the street from my house.

Oddly enough, 2 mopars sitting in the driveway and one in the garage. I have yet to take the new line anywhere, because I haven't needed to, but Amy had a book of passes she uses to get to class.

It runs close to my work, too, but the cost of the damn thing with transfers, both ways, will add an hour to my commute each way and rival the cost of fuel and insurance that I'd still pay for, because I go other places, aside from work.

If I took the train to work every day, even if I felt like pissing away 2 more hours of my day, I'd also have to calculate what my time was worth at work, into the scale of pro vs con.

I haven't done the hard math, but from a distance, it's not as promising as everyone wishes it were. I'd still love to take it downtown, though. Just to get wasted and not have to call a taxi. It's super convenient, being across the road. hahaha...

Aside from that novelty, though, I have yet to find a real use for it.
