MARTA is the mass transit train system in Atlanta. They just upgraded the ticketing system. It was totally free for about 6 weeks, no ticket kiosks, or need for tickets, just walk through the turnstiles ... crazy stupid. I have sworn off using Marta several times and I still find myself back on it... We have been ridiculed, and been made very uncomfortable and worried about our safety a number of times. But it continues to be the best option getting to and from the ATL airport. I take the train from Doraville to the Airport. The entire length of the Gold Line.

Although I saw a few more security/MARTA Police and quasi security foilks, the same crazy bullshit is still happening.

It has been a tough week. When I started discussing what a tough week it was with my favorite cat Tioga, he was sympathetic. He was purring and comforting. All in all his week was tougher than mine. We let the vet get the mass that was growing under his skin. He had to spend a night away from his home. They also took out the huge tooth he had.. they cause problems since the root is as large as the tooth. This is a tough cat and even "the toughy" was somewhat distracted by all the procedures. Everyone will be ok. He has tough battle ahead though since he can't go outside until the stitches come out in 12 days. He will have to relax and settle for the window for a bit.

It was a good weekend. The weather was great. I crossed almost everything on my farmlist off the list. We ordered fence. That will be here soon. It was just a nice weekend enjoying the farm. I skidded up (8) cherry logs, each 14 foot long. They will be sold this week. The trees fell over a while back. Turning them into money is better that letting them rot. Click pic for video
