Greetings. Fall is here, September 11th passed with little more than W. telling us how dangerous the world is, and I have been absent from the keys.
Sitting here on my desk is a nice little brochure from Sound Transit (ST.) You know, the folks that have heaped grief upon themselves, brought bus and overpriced train service to the Puget Sound region and generally managed to survive the fickle Seattle transportation climate. Well, ST is looking for direction in the next phase of the regional transit plan. The options are, conveniently, a small, medium and large expansion of the currently planned system for the respective prices of $.03, $.04, and $.05 on a ten dollar purchase.
Dicks Drive-In Restaurant offers the Cheese, the Special and the Deluxe for the respective prices of $1.30 $1.60 and $2.20.
While all Dick’s burgers are tasty, it’s clear that the Deluxe is just a bigger, better burger. For the money, the Deluxe delivers two big beef patties, cheese and the works, for just 69% more dough than the basic Cheese.
ST claims that their deluxe will deliver the transportation equivalent for just 66% more than the basic cheese based on a ten dollar purchase.
Who doesn’t want a Deluxe?

Super size me, please. Because being stuck in a car in traffic is so fun in the first place, and even less fun if you're in that situation because you had no choice for alternate transportation
I like the deluxe.
