Waiting here for Brian to pick me up so we can drive off to Michigan...one more time. We were supposed to leave a little earlier but apparently he can't across to Manhattan from Queens because of the two rider policy so he had to go all the way up through the Bronx and then back down. This leads us to the question of why there is a two-rider minimum policy into Manhattan...does it deter terrorists because they always work solo? I don't think so. For the life of me i can't think of any reason for the policy except maybe to reduce congestion in the city and to increase incovenience.
