Reminiscing About The Subways

I was thinking about all the times I rode the subways in New York. Now, when I really depended on the 'trains' to get me around town, and also to my job, I wasn't too fond of using them for all of my transporting. I didn't drive at the time, (twenty years ago), so the subways were THE mode of transportation for me.

Now, since I relocated, and no longer have subways available, I discovered that I miss the rides.
When I went shopping, and didn't buy such a load of goods, I would get the train and leave the driving to the conductor. Sometimes I would listen to music or read during the trip.

If I was tired from a hectic day at the Bank where I worked, I could even take a short snooze on the way to or from work. Of course, I risked missing my destination if I slept, but that was the chance I took. The lull of the ride, the train rocking back and forth, It was definitely siesta-time!

Sometimes, I really do miss riding those subways!
