Scenes from Sunday

To die for...

A lost person asks me: "How do you get into the tunnel?" Sound Transit has yet to realize itself as something significant. The lack of pronounced signage is a sign of this missing realization. Also the fact that the last trains on New Year's Eve ran at 1:15 am (and not the much more realistic 2:15 am) was evidence that Sound Transit has yet to realize the city it is in.

Hawaii or tragedy? Which shall it be?
