When I rode the subways of New York in my youth, I used to want to stop the train and just listen to the people on that one car tell me their stories. Everybody has a compelling story that makes them who they are, where they are going in life, or just something they can think about when they are going through some rough times. Everybody in the whole world. Wouldn't the stories of that one carload of people make an interesting book or ethnography?Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918984384091134565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-51694037650399290662018-02-27T17:18:31.473+00:002018-02-27T17:18:31.473+00:00People might moan about The Tube when there are se...People might moan about The Tube when there are service disruptions but if they stood back to think about it they might also appreciate how utterly amazing it really is.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-74748481628199383372018-02-27T16:49:10.188+00:002018-02-27T16:49:10.188+00:00I don't know, YP -- I don't think that'...I don't know, YP -- I don't think that's the kind of first impression you'd want to make!
