These a gleaming building there now emblazoned with “76 Wellington Street”. Schofield Sweeney solicitors. I know someone who has been inside.

One of the great ironies in modern transportation is that buses–once the choice of the poor– are now much more spacious and comfortable than airplanes–once the choice of the rich. A plane seat is barely wide enough to fit into. A bus seat is plush, reclines and is roomy. Too funny.
