6775 a die-lemma.

Hmmm... do I risk the rain, and take a journey to the Seaquarium today? I have to decide if I want to journey that far South again. Upside, I might get some spiffy pictures from the metrorail, if nothing else.

To get there, I'm going to take the 55 to the central term, from there to the Lauderdale Tri-Rail station ... then take Metrorail to Brickell Station. From there take Bus B to Key Biscayne, this will drop me off in front of the park. Map - Public Transportation Trip Planner

I'll percolate on it for an hour and decide then.

Meantime, here's a happy mind flayer, enjoying his breakfast.

Random Scotto factoid: I've never liked using blue ink, especially from a ball-point pen. I think it has an odd look about it, and black has much better contrast. Red's ok in small doses... valentines or highlighting errors. I don't mind "fun" colors like purple or green.

I wonder how that blue caught on? Is it cheaper? Was it really fun and different when first released? It seems to be the color of choice at schools.

I have very small handwriting. Depending on my mood and level of weariness, it can go from fair to totally illegible.

At my old job, our shift had to use blue pen. Blue non retractable ball point pen. So now I have a million blue pens.

Drive them into the eyes of your enemies!

um, I mean...

Then the better to write a letter with!

Hehe! Snagged the Tom Baker outtakes from the referenced mindflayer post... Amazing to hear good ol' Dr. Who muttering obscenities. Very different from my memories of watching the re-runs with my Dad on Canadian TV (we lived outside of Detroit, and caught the broadcast out of Windsor). I'd be tempted to forward the link on to him, if I didn't figure my mother would shoot me for the language.

I applaud you on your ability to not only decipher the South Florida public transportation system, but to utilize it to its fullest. To me, it seemed a lot like Trolley from Mr. Rogers -- cute, but the only place it really took you was to a land of make-believe.

Thanks! Actually, it all works reasonably well, save for el sucko-maximo tri-rail.

the metro system in dade is really quite good.

Glad you dug it. :)

Tom Baker's a hoot as a sweary-sailor!

funny i don't like black ink, esp from ball points. i can't stand the way it looks.

your drawing looks dr. zoyberg (spl) from futurama.

Oh, ball-points are pretty much universally bad. I prefer a felt-tip if I can get one.

Heh... Doctor Z does have a squiddy-head!
