Short

I caught a train at a station much closer to work. I just love the "Park & Ride" ability. Picked up a red line train, which originates only one stop before, which means nearly nobody is on this bad boy.

Who is, you ask? Well some crazy-cat lady in her homemade knit sweater, who took the good seat, is watching her tablet. 

And someone has coffee somewhere. Likely without a lid. It's turning my stomach because the smell is pretty nasty.

There is a sick kid at the far end of the train. Probably two years old, with curly blonde hair and pink cheeks... coughing its brains out. Not into a sleeve or hand either, mind you, just open mouth gurgle-coughing.  Granted the kid is all the way at the other end of the train but... Still makes me paranoid a little.
