Small luck.

There was a gas leak downtown today and the light rail was delayed on my way home. They even stopped the train at the edge of downtown Portland, but the stop they went to was where I usually get off the train.

I’ve been reading a translation of Day Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko on the way to work. Reading time is one of the best things about taking mass transit and not driving. It’s a sequel to Night Watch, which was also made into a interesting and fairly weird Russian movie of the same name with witches, magicians, vampires, and the like. Unfortunately, I have to drive sometimes, even though it’s cheaper to ride the train. It’s hard to get to the golf course without driving, for example.

Oh, and I went to Burgerville today and tried their new hot dog basket. Hot dogs with the Burgerville “spread” were odd because it sort of tasted like hot dogs with mayonnaise on them. Not bad, but not great. I should have stuck with the Ethiopian restaurant.
