Ron - I just have to say thank you... And though I originally intended this to be just for you, I've decided to include the entire list.
For a variety of reasons - one, perhaps, being laziness - I chose to walk to work downtown today. It's about 3 miles. I also walked home.
In many ways it was enjoyable, but I must admit to being tired now that I'm home. (I'll also admit to having stopped at a bar on the way home, though I truly did only have one beer).
Anyway, in my tired state I read your email without immediately realizing the sarcasm. Once it hit me, I had a very good laugh.
Again, thanks. It made my day.

During the upcoming bus strike, if you find you need a ride to work or somewhere else, simple go to the Met Council website at www.metrocouncil.org.
Along the top row is an option 'About Us'. Clicking on that will give you access to a drop down menu where you will click on 'Council Members'. Each of the 16 current appointed Met Council members is listed along with their phone number and the city they live in.
There is also a link on the Council Members homepage 'Council District boundaries'. If you click on that link, it gives you a map of the metro area with the appropriate District numbers.
Using the name and phone number information, you can then go to www.anywho.com to get their home addresses.
Suppose you live in Plymouth and need to get to work in Northeast Minneapolis. Simply call Roger Scherer and ask if he can stop by and pick you up on his way to work. Or better yet, just show up to his house in the morning and wait for a ride. In the afternoon, you would contact Lynette Wittsack and I am sure that she would be happy to give you a ride back to Plymouth.
Come on, quit complaining. It's not like we don't have other transportation options and I am simply suggesting one that comes to mind.
