Things are now proceeding with metronome-like precision. I get to the platform in Merrick eight minutes early, and stand at the yellow line next to two regulars, waiting for car number 3. As we were getting off the platform at Penn and marching up the stairs two by two to get to the A train, I had a feeling of Deja Vu. It reminded me of the opening sequence in Fritz Lang's classic film Metropolis. My last remaining source of frustration is the Metrocard. I should be able to buy rides $20 at a time, but every machine I've tried gives me the option of a seven dollar ticket or a single ride. My supervisor says that such a thing cannot be, so we are going to go to the Franklin Street station at lunch time and we'll see for ourselves. Eventually, I will buy an 80 ticket with my March monthly pass.
