Hiawatha Line

One important thing when coming to a new city, especially if you will be here for a significant amount of time, is to learn how to get around.  We are fans of the Hiawatha LRT line!  Public transit has some great advantages, and we see them come into effect here.  The Hiawatha light rail (named for the famous Native American), is very affordable, serves important areas, and is clean.  A ride will cost you $1.75, and you can hit many important stops including Target Field, the Mall of America, and even the airport!

Minnesota protects public transit operators

In Minnesota there is now a higher penalty for those who attack bus drivers and light rail conductors.  It escalates the crime to fourth-degree assault.  The law takes effect this week.  To be charged with a  misdemeanor not only does it take into account bodily assault but also any projection of bodily fluids.  The law comes in response to a high rate of drivers being spit on.  It is important to protect public transit drivers, since they not only are responsible for themselves, but for the safety of all of their passengers as well.

Our Best to Russia

The news is abuzz today with stories of a meteorite that struck Russia.  It caused terror for those living nearby, and injured many as glass was blown out of windows.  We hope that serious damage hasn't been done to the nearby nuclear storage and disposal facility or the chemical weapons disposal facility.  It could prove even more grave for locals if those two areas are damaged.
