    Default I guess some management at RTD doesn't want many riders

    In another lesson that the races on the back of the ballot matter too...

    RTD director proposes replacing armed security guards with social workers

    https://www.thedenverchannel.com/new...social-workers

    The Regional Transportation District would cancel its contract with Allied Universal Security, whose guards assaulted a Denver artist, under a proposed resolution that seeks to remove most armed officers from trains and transit stations.

    I think Shontel Lewis went to the same infant daycare as Tay Anderson, where plastic produce bags were used as crib toys.

    The stupid, it hurts...

    Hopefully, the other directors are not as gullible as the Denver School Board.

    I guess all rides are going to be free then?

    Government giving away our money again?

    That sounds fair.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    The first one that harasses me for being inebriated gets tossed at the next stop.

    I used to live in a city and took a subway to/from work daily. The worst are the lines with schools on them. In the fall all the kids come back unsocialized, and every platform is nuts every afternoon. In the morning they are LOUD, like birds at sunup. By the holidays they're better. Then the warm weather comes they all get spring fever and it's almost as bad as the fall.

    Do you suppose there will be a lot of social workers volunteering to spend their days riding and policing trains?

    Hey man, you're on the Red transit line this month. The last guy was stabbed 32 times before he was raped and had his shoes stolen...But I'm sure the victims who did that to him won't do it again.

    London transport was great in February. I didn't need a car at all. All the trains had internet, even out in the country. They need a train from Pueblo to DIA. Parking and driving sucks here.

    Not a single security type person to be seen anywhere. I'm sure I was followed by MI5, but they were very discrete. Once I got to Buckingham Palace, I saw armed police, soldiers, cavalry etc. I thought it was unusual active duty US Air Force stayed on the same floor at the hotel in London. They checked in just after I arrived. But on the trains, subway, buses, no type of security.
    Cameras were everywhere. They call it CCTV. Everything has changed since I lived there. I never ever saw armed UK police back in the 70's. All the US bases are fenced off, they used to be fairly open during the Cold War.
    I saw so many beautiful women, I didn't want to come back to Colorado. Maybe it was because I was in the high end of the city. There were many expensive exotic cars parked in the neighborhood. It seemed like rich folks from all over the world lived there. It was very crowded and noisy. The price of a small apartment averaged $600,000. I would have to live out in the country with the economy in London the way it is now. I didn't hear of anybody being shot the whole time I was there. There was a shooting of a terrorist in London the week before I got there tho'...
