Happy Slacker Day

Who knew that Britain would have such an almost-holiday?

For those more interested in parts of the anatomy, there was the festival of the pit. Only in Nevada...

More locally, LSC is showing The Matrix free tonight and tomorrow night at MIT. And next Wednesday the Museum of Science is celebrating Mars being at its closest in years with planetarium shows and a Mars viewing party, all free. I hope the weather cooperates this time...
For anyone with a student ID, Monday September 15 the Museum of Science is free from 4-10 pm, including Duck Tours!

Your Move Games is moving, though their web site has no information about the new location yet.

I was productive this morning, up early enough to not only start a batch of bread dough, but have it finish the first rise and be put into the oven on time bake before I left for work. It would've been nice to have a whole night's sleep, though. That hasn't happened in days. I hope the predicted weather change will help.

[Edit] Oh, and T prices are rising by a quarter (though only one by 25% :-), trains to $1.25, buses to $1.

Fare hike

Is not definite yet. They're going to have public meetings and such, and the decision will be up to the MBTA board.

Who will likely raise fares, since they need the revenue, especially since ridership is falling.

Re: Fare hike

It's always possible that they will decide that increased fares will drop ridership even more and decide that it's best to leave fares as they are.

Okay, not likely, but possible.

Possible, but where would they make up the revenue?
I don't think cutting back on personnel would be good, unless there are some supremely superfluous people around in their hierarchy somewhere, and having fewer trains/buses would mean fewer riders. Lather, rinse, repeat in a downward cycle....
