Actually June 2007.  
 
(:>)
 
However I do have a Christmas story that's even transit related.  Last year got an email from SEPTA customer service asking for resupply of senior id cards.  The SEPTA manager said 'I don't expect any miracle, but we are in desperate need of id cards".  My indirect reply was 'but this is the Christmas season - why don't you expect miracles?'  (being the smart alack)  What I didn't tell her was that there was a rail safety meeting at SEPTA the next day and I could hand-carry a couple thousand cards.  The look on her face when I showed up - what's that commercial about 'priceless'.  (Who says you can't have fun at work.)
 
cheers
John
