    I know of a few bus stops near our organization that could use a little TLC - - will go on a walk for lunch with a bag and gloves, see how I can make them look a bit better.

    I couldn't even consider driving to work.  It would take so much more time, cost 7210% more for parking (not including gas, number is not a typo), and I don't think it would be good for my blood pressure.  With a little planning and the current bus time apps, public transportation is making life much more enjoyable.
