There's this woman, black and rather elegantly dressed and accessorized and also masked, who I sometimes see walking through the (always Times Square?) at a fast pace with all the commuters, but she is PREACHING.

Calling out something in a high, loud, rather rough voice with I think a bit of Jamaican lilt.

And interestingly she is basically incomprehensible. 😁

I'm pretty sure she's speaking English; I think I've caught the occasional "be prepared" or "Jesus". But, even though she seems to be repeating herself pretty frequently, I've been unable to get even the general gist. One assumes, of course. But as far as understanding, her voice might as well be (somewhat strident) instrumental music...

TTC Board Meeting April 13, 2023
stevemunro.ca/2023/04/12/ttc-b

The TTC Board will meet on April 13, and the agenda for their meeting is rather small. Notable by its absence is any reference to the service cuts planned for May 7, 2023. The big items in the public portion of the agenda are the monthly CEO’s Report and an update on TTC’s finances and […]

Saw a train car on a flatbed truck driving through Ohio. Long way from home.

I have lived in the since 1999. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a four-car No Passengers train that was painted yellow. Definitely not a recent paint job, according to the dirt. Anyone know what this is for?
