So You Think You Have Commuting Headaches


Ask anyone in N.Y. about their morning or afternoon commute and you will get a long list of complaints. We New Yorkers complain just about everything. It’s too cold. It’s too hot. It’s too expensive. It’s too cheap. It’s too freaking crowded. It’s too wet. It’s too dry. It’s too this or it’s too that. Well, I can only tell you that there are many people with far less means than ours and enjoying their lives. It’s not how much you have it’s what you do with what you have. Take a look at this picture and tell me if these people are not having fun. Just imagine yourself fully dressed and jumping on one of these wagons to get to work. No room to read your newspaper, drink your coffee or talk on the phone. Better hold on to something or your ass could land flat on the street after a sharp turn. I think it’s time to slow down on the complaining, and appreciate that which we so carelessly take for granted.
