It would be difficult to decide whether to face forward -- best when being launched -- or face the rear -- best when landing.<BR/><BR/>For optimum propulsion, I would suggest giants from the Harry Potter books. (Sorry, can't recall which country they live in.) If the giants can't be convinced, then I would harness the power of 3-year-olds on a sugar high. The problem with toddler sugar power is its unpredictability. They are apt to suddenly collapse and go to sleep at unexpected times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070861046420451305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383367803115732345.post-66621586891844387522007-08-01T11:09:00.000-07:002007-08-01T11:09:00.000-07:00Ah, Elk Grove!

Nah, we'll build our own bus line, they said.<BR/><BR/>Still, if you work downtown, there are options. RT has a beta site that attempts to work out the connections among the various transit systems. The web site is <A HREF="http://infortp.sacrt.com/" REL="nofollow">infortp.sacrt.com.</A><BR/><BR/>But let me be frank (John can be sooo boring): Regional Transit pretty much sucks if you don't work downtown. And that's not going to get any better as long as people like the governor think powering a traffic jam with bio-diesel is a better alternative than encouraging people to leave their cars at home and ride buses and light rail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070861046420451305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383367803115732345.post-78413777447125672662007-08-01T10:55:00.000-07:002007-08-01T10:55:00.000-07:00I'd do it, but from Elk Grove?
