I opted to walk to Market Street East rather than wait, just in case it went on a long time, figuring that MSE was a better place to be stuck. When I got there, the train I'd left behind at SS was waiting, delayed but unbowed. At that point I got on it and was delivered to my destination 25 minutes later.<br /><br />I'm from New York. I don't do waiting well. I'm also an optimist: if I try to help myself perhaps good things will come to me.
