> First from Cleveland RTA is this news bite from Fox/Faux 8, Cleveland on
> July 2nd:
> Cleveland RTA Incident
> <http://fox8.com/2014/07/01/video-shows-rta-driver-robbed-at-gunpoint-with-passengers-on-bus/>
> Things seem to be going downhill as far as safety at RTA these days.
> The video is a "slow starter" so give it a few seconds to get going.
> 
> Next, I was watching all the "happenings" in Jerusalem on CNN and noticed
> that one of the streets shown in the broadcast had tracks and overhead
> wire. Who would have guessed that Jerusalem had streetcars. Check out the
> photos attached. Also, who would have guessed that it snows there. I worked
> in Saudi Arabia, which is pretty much in the same area, and it was always
> hot.
> 
> Last, no more "taking the trolley" to work for me. I got a new, full time,
> job with Allegheny County Government beginning July 14. I will be a clerk
> in the Department of Children, Youth & Family Services/Northern District
> Family Court, on Perrysville Avenue, in Pittsburgh. Too bad the number 8
> trolley doesn't operate.
> 
> One more item. There are a couple spots remaining for the "Trolley Picnic"
> at PTM on August 2nd. Let me know at <hrbran at cavtel.net> if you want to
> attend.
