It's a New Month

It seems a little non-sensical to say this, since I wrote my rent check this morning, but I just realized after I got into the office that this was June 1st. As usual I took the Gold Line northbound, and as sometimes happens there were fare inspectors that checked the train at Filmore. They were perfectly content to nod at my May monthly pass and let me go, which makes me wonder if there's a little leeway on these things, or if they're just forgetful like I am.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
