I've went to church today, which is always a wrenching experience for obvious reasons. A new young "gay couple?" was there, which is good - maybe the church's sensible but uncommon "welcome statement" is yielding some benefits. It was a gorgeous day to be out and about, but it was rather odd to be riding Metro Access since all the headlines yesterday about a driver raping a customer who has a disability. Metro Access used to provide horribly bad and unreliable service. I used to wait for them for (literally) hours past the time they were supposed to come. Then they got sued for lots of money, so now they are more reliable, except that apparently they occasionally rape people. They still do absolutely maddening things, like they did last Sunday. They picked Mom and I up in Reston at absolutely the very last moment of the time frame in which they were to pick us up, then drove us to Chantilly to pick up another customer, then way into Arlington to drop her off, and THEN back to mom's house in Falls Church to drop us off. It took 3 1/2 hours to get from Reston to Falls Church. By the time we got there, the Metro Access bus that was taking me home was already there, so I missed Easter dinner with the family and Shirley and Ron - but hey! Nobody got raped! So kwit your bitchin'!

Here is a funny picture because this was a bummer of a blog entry.
