  22. =o= I can't imagine what could have been going on in his mind.
  23. BART does a very good job of keeping on schedule.  In contrast,
  24. a typical Bay Area rush "hour" goes on for half the afternoon
  25. and half the evening, *especially* if you go through S.F.  And 
  26. it's especially bad at the several places each day where there's
  27. an accident.
