Courtesy call: More on El trains.

Those whose mouths watered at the morsels of local El train information shared by NAC recently should take a look at the more comprehensive article author R. David "Ron" Schooling has posted at Broken Sidewalk.

My favorite line:

Even with our modern freeways and fast cars, one cannot duplicate these “point-to-point” travel times today.

And even that fails to specifically mention the wastes of fuel and finance perpetually driving us toward less reason and responsibility that go along with less time to think about the application of either.

When it comes to getting around, we've forgotten more than we know and have thus become as much of a cliché. New Albanians now argue over car parking spots for far longer than it used to take 110 years ago to go between New Albany and Louisville without a car at all.
