We now have a new MUP that can get us faster to downtown, safer, and I get to wave at all the trains. I think that the drivers enjoy the enthusiasm because they often wave, and sometimes clang their bell and beep too. It's great. The other day Laura even had them wave at her first. I have to admit that I start waving long before I can see if they are waving back.
I'm excited because this means that I won't have to stress taking the kids downtown and worry about them being run over going along Somerset. It means I don't have to worry about me being run over going along Somerset.
I do feel a little bad though. The other route that Lucy and I were taking had a lot more chance to see dogs, ducks, and generally have a nice time along the river. There's less things to point out and talk about, but that also means there are so many fewer conflicts points.
And you've never heard a perfect guffaw until you've heard a 2yo laughing at a train clanging their bell at you.
