Trying it again to a doctor's appointment. For a 30 minute ride it's about $20. Of course parking would have been $10, and here I don't tip the driver. Rear seat was a little cramped, and then I found the legroom control. Sweet.

Salvation
They hey are going to daylight a river here that's what they call It, noun to verb. A stream turned out 5 years ago from its channel to run în cement tunnels, dank and airless till it joined a sewer, will be released to sun, rain, pebbles, mud, yellow iris, the sky above it and trees leaning over to be reflectedi 4
At night, stars or at least streetlamps will gleam in it, fish and waterbugs swim again in its ripples; and though its course, more or less the old one it followed before its years of humiliation, will pass near shops and the parking lot's glittering metallic desert, yet this unhoped-for pardon will once more permit the stream to offer itself at last to the lake, the lake will accept it, take it into itself, the stream restored will become pure Jake.
