4 of 92000

Nope, it's not a new Borg. The 4 are my friends and I, and the 92000 are the other people who rode the brand-spanking new light rail in Seattle this weekend.



Here's us on the light rail. (I think they're trying to push for the name "link" but I'm not feeling that so much.) It wasn't too crowded, thanks to numerous staff members who metered the number of people who could get on at the Westlake station.

And where did we go? .... drum roll ..... Columbia City!



We're not sure what Jungle Butter is but it sounds cool. I should apologize to the residents of Columbia City, because this isn't the most flattering picture of their town/neighborhood. They actually have a really adorable historic downtown, where we ate dinner. Of course the dang light rail was only running till 5pm today so we had to bus it back home, but it was a fun adventure!

I am a train freak and in Lausanne we inaugurated the new metro last October. In 6 month, it has transported over a million people. In a city of 180'000.

And, in 1994, I was also in a "mass event". The Pink Floyd Concert. I stood in the middle of the stadium. And around me were 49'999 others.
