The 7:10 train out of South Station left an hour late. At one point the put us on a train on track 13 -- I didn't know they ever used track 13 -- and then they came on board and said no, this train's not going anywhere, go back in the station.

I had to walk to South Station from Park Street because the Red Line was massively delayed.

It's clear the MBTA has been starved for operating funds far too long by short-sighted idiots in the legislature.

Now Charlie Baker wants to cut another $1.4 million fro the T's operating budget.

Once upon a time there was a Governor;
Choo-choo Charlie was his name, yes sir!
He had a railroad and he sure had fun;
He was cuttin' all the budgets that made the trains run.

Charlie says, "love my budget cutting!"
Charlie says, "it really rings my bell!"
Charlie says, "let's pile up the debt now,
As for all of those commuters, they can go to hell."

My apologies to the Good-and-Plenty candy folks.
