Probably has something to do with the lighting and the fact that what they are picturing probably isn't even edible.<br /><br />I bet the rail line will be great once it is finally done; but the efforts to get there sure seem cumbersome. Reminds me of a freeway project in California. Took 10 years to do and it did help congestion once it was completed, but it was a "pain" while it was being constructed.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-30888777594307088142017-01-16T10:40:44.259-05:002017-01-16T10:40:44.259-05:00Adding a transit system like that to a large, pre-...Adding a transit system like that to a large, pre-existing city sounds like a nightmare.

I laughed to myself thinking that it would have been faster to buy the stuff and chop it herself. Of course, where I live, women like to brag that they never cook, so maybe she did not know how to chop.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.com
