Time out
Well, I'm back in PA. I caught a train at 7:00 this morning, and made it home by around 11:00. Not bad. And a lot more pleasant than Greyhound, believe you me.
As it turns out, this wasn't actually bad time to bug out for a few days, because the water outage at my apartment that started yesterday is apparently continuing today. They're doing pretty massive work on Manhattan Ave. still, and now they're messing with my water. Great. Hopefully it'll be done by Saturday, when I go back.
Yeah, I'm going back to New York on Saturday. I've got finals on Monday and Wednesday, but nothing to do until then, so I came home.
Doing some quick calculations, I figured out that it would probably be a good bit cheaper for me to live with my parents in central PA and commute three hours one-way to New York twice a week than it would be to live where I am now. Conclusion: market forces of supply and demand only produce rational results when the amount of supply/demand is itself rational. Sub-conclusion: high taxes are self-perpetuating.
