WTF

Yah, so in addition to SF MUNI fares going up 25 cents to $1.50 (but fast passes didn't go up and there is a new "Lifeline pass"), AC Transit also went up 25 cents to $1.75 (!!), AC Transit's transbay bus service went up 50 cents, and BART is going to go up from what is it, $1.15 to $1.40 minimum.

When I was checking the schedule for my planned daytrip to Davis last night, I was shocked to discover that the Amtrak fare from near where I live had gone up from $17 to $20. What the HELL! That is one-way! So I decided not to go. $40 to spend less than 12 hours there didn't quite make sense for today.

I did swim about 900 yards for the first time in 11 or 12 years.
