Ok, I’m having a hard time pasting on my phone, but you’re close enough. The numbers are bus lines, and the rest follows from there.
The roads I usually ride on are the ones followed by the 26 and 55 lines. 55 is an express, so if I meet one, it passes me once and then done. The 26, though, is faster than me at top speed, but I’m slightly faster on average, accounting for stops. So if we meet, we end up in this dance of passing each other every block for a couple of miles, until I finally get a lead on it, which is a nuisance. I’ve recently started riding the route of the 22, but luckily haven’t encountered any yet.
We tend to think of prison as more punishment than reform, but sometimes going to jail really can help turn a life around.
**Consider this true story, the case of Luey:
Luey was pretty much your average neighborhood troublemaker. He had little education. Minor scrapes with the law and such. Too much drinking and a temper. None outside of a few people in his hometown knew who he was, and nobody anywhere much cared.
One night Luey drank too much got into a fight in a bar. He was arrested and thrown into jail for four days.
But after this low point for Luey everything changed. Suddenly Luey was celebrated. Luey was no longer a nobody. He became known worldwide and many people came to hear what he had to say. Some called him the “Most Marvelous Man in the World.”
Can you guess how this amazing turnaround occurred?**
Did the government which operated the prison suffer some calamity?
Were the events prior to his arrest in any way responsible for his subsequent fame? (that is to say, if the cause of his arrest had been some completely different crime of similar severity, would the outcome have been the same?)
Would he have gained his subsequent fame if he had not been in solitary?
Did his fame result in any way from a change in his personality, habits, or disposition?
Does the nation in which he was imprisoned still exist under basically the same form of government?
