This is partially a test of the new blogging plugin I just installed. I pulled a laptop out of recycling and have been wanted to get more experience using Linux as a true productivity device and not something to just screw around with.

I’m hopeful that the blue line extension will proceed, and hopefully not all of the delays and lawsuits and nonsense that the green line faced.<\/p>\n
