Open Letter of the Day

[gnomi]

Dear Idiot Tourists,

I realize you're probably in town from somewhere that doesn't have a subway system or, if your home area *does* have a subway system, doesn't have an electrified trolley system. That said, it is *not smart* nor is it at all safe to have your under-ten-year-old children *stand in the middle of the tracks* at one of the busiest stops in the whole system right before the lunch rush in order to take their picture. Really it's not. You're lucky those two youngsters of yours were not smushed by that big green thing that is coming around the corner and cannot stop on a dime.

Yours sincerely,

The chick who cringed while the kids ran back and forth across the tracks

Well, y'know, I can understand that people might be confused by them newfangled "railway" thingies and not realize how dangerous tracks are. They've only been around for 160 years, after all.
