Valley Metro Light Rail still too crowded!

Valley Metro Light Rail still too crowded!

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

I have nothing against people; it’s just crowds in tight spaces I don’t like. Come on, Valley Metro, add more streetcars to the rails! It shouldn’t still be "standing room only" a week after the Grand Opening and three days into charging fares for passage.

I think Metro is a boon to the Valley. I want to see it succeed; I’m only publicly criticizing it in the hope of putting the heat on Valley Metro to make it an attractive alternative to driving.

P.S. There were only two cars in this train. Each station can accommodate trains with up to three cars. With ridership like this, you’d think they could run the trains with three cars.

I taught a workshop today!

Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

Today, I accomplished something I’ve been thinking about doing for at least five years now: I taught a workshop to sign language interpreters. I have my colleague Joy Marks at the Desert Valleys Regional Cooperative to thank not only for taking this photo but for providing the logistical assistance, facilities, and equipment I needed to present this workshop. Her generosity on so many levels was invaluable.

For my part, it seems that all my hard work, research, and preparation paid off. The students had fun, learned a lot, and scored my presentation highly. Yay!
