2003-07-23 [ no wishes on that trip. ]
I found this thing I wrote a while back
I�m bored waiting for this train. I�ve rode trains all over the world, but this is the first time I�m surrounded by middle age white men while doing so. My first car was completely empty. It�s rush hour now to go home from corporate America. The second car was packed full. I�m writing standing against a window.
West Corona, Orange, Irvine, Laguna.
Five minutes from her house. I�m afraid to start reading my book and then lose track of time.
This is certainly nothing like riding the trains in Taiwan. There we would cross rivers, mountains, and I�d make wishes when we go into tunnels while holding my breath. The Metrolink trains rides through middle class planned community suburbia. Places you live in that when people ask:
"Where do you live?" They would say: "Oh that�s a good neighborhood."
For a city size of Los Angeles stretching down through Orange County, with it�s outrageous gas and energy prices, they have the most awful transportation system in the world.
I miss living in a city where people would not drive to their mailboxes.
Actually now the train is going by a strawberry field, and for the moment, it�s quite nice.
