How much something is missed is related to who squeals the loudest.
Has nothing to do with the number of passengers.

Martin Villa was one that PAT wanted to delete years ago but the mice
made too much noise.

Politicians are running it now.  Not Charlie Palmer or Tom Fitzgerald.
In the old days you could lay down cinder ballast or red dog and make a
platform for very little effort or money.  Today we have aide to those
with disabilities legislation.

As I get older I look upon ADA more graciously than I did at age 30.
Having had a very competent employee with cerebral palsey also made me
look at things a little differently.  Today I look at some German towns
with a viable core and think what a wonderful place this would be to
retire ... where I can buy clothing, groceries, a toner cartridge,
church services, dry cleaning, a ream of paper, etc. all within walking
district.  What I have to face is growing old in suburbia, restricted
from driving, and with the mall 4 miles away.
