        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Too many have there forever beenof rules so hard and fastwe could never see past them.One day, for example, in a certain townspread out as hell so the car-lesswould be at a complete lossbut for a little transit system,a young woman with a walkermade it, if barely, up to the busin the afternoon, saying she neededto go to such-and-such stop,which perhaps the driver didn’t catch.Now it was a Saturday, and unfortunatelyfor her, on that day the schedule’sdifferent enough to be, if you wantto know the truth, completely screwy,meaning that stop wouldn’t againbe serviced. Also unfortunately for her,the temperature was over ninety-five degrees.When the driver, however, learnedof the problem, he called the officetrying every way possible for a workaround,yet they weren’t having it, insisting,even though it was a Saturday, she eitherdid or should’ve known the schedule –meaning, in a word, that she was scamming.Ladies and gentlemen, I was sitting directlybehind her, so can tell you straight: she was not.David StevensonFarmington]]></content:encoded>
