When is winter ?

Enough of Autumn, when is winter!?

I chickened out this morning and didn’t ride the bike in. I figured I’d take the metro. The day of the last storm, the city was very quiet. The metro as well. I hoofed it down to the Mount Royal station and the guy working the booth was out for a coffee. Yipee. Free ride.

Get down the stairs in what I am SURE is the hottest metro in the network and people are lined up 6 deep from end to end.

Not good.

First metro arrives and it’s completely packed and one person gets off two squeeze on.

More people arrive, the line is now 7 deep.

Next metro arrives, again completely jammed with people and two people get off, 3 get on.

Enough of that. I’m hoofing it all the way. It took me 75 minutes to walk to work and I was cursing myself for not having taken the bike.

A fellow coworker told me that what I should do is take the metro going north, get off at Cremazie and then get back on going south. In his opinion, not only will it be faster, but that I will get a seat as well!
