SIGHT UNSEEN

A bit of good news coming out of my decadant city of New Orleans...the Streetcar is back on St. Charles Avenue. It isnt back in FULL working order, but as of today its running. We take what we can get around here.

Heres whats weird. I didnt notice that it was missing! Im struggling to understand this oversight. It could be that I dont actually drive down St. Charles Ave. very often. BUT, I do drive down it sometimes...I think I should have noticed. Could it be that I have become so damn use to living in an ILL CITY that it never entered my mind that it wasnt there??

*SLAPS WRIST* Shame on myself!! I hope I dont become immune to my surroundings. That in itself would be tragic!
