Starts with T, ends with T, sounds like ‘tea’

After a short walk, described this past week, a quick bit of waiting at the light rail station saw my chariot arrive. I’ve got a car parked back in the driveway at HQ, but give me a choice between driving and mass transit… I’m always taking the train if I can.
Has nothing to do with any lofty ideals or anything like that. I feel a greater sense of freedom not having to worry about where I parked and how to get back there, and I can even stop off for a quick beer if I like when I’m on foot. I’m fairly ‘hardcore’ about not driving when ‘substances’ might be involved, these days. On this particular walk, no extracurricular activities occurred, but if the camaraderie of a tap room called, I could answer that clarion call.

Upon returning back to Dormont, which is where HQ is located, I hung around the station for a few minutes to capture the shot above, of a Pittsburgh bound T. I normally shoot this sort of thing from the inward bound platform, rather than from the outward bound one. What can I tell you, the light was nice.
By this part of the day, the chorus of cracking and popping sounds echoing up my skeleton had abided, as all of my internally lubricated parts had received a fairly nice amount of exercise. My plan thereby worked and I’m clearly the smartest one of all.

This is the street which HQ is located on, and it’s found all the way down at the end of the block at bottom of the hill. The spot where the pavement changes is the legal border between Dormont and Pittsburgh, so I can report that I dwell on the edge. Green and white street signs are found in Dormont and Blue/White ones are Pittsburgh, and that’s how you can tell where you are.
Back next week at this – your Newtown Pentacle.
