Let’s get this thing started. You’re like, “What thing? What’s Please Lower That mean?” It’s my reflections, observations and exasperations (I just like “tion” endings coming in succession. Just one of my many quirks…you’ll get used to it…I did) that come with commuting in general, and riding in the Quiet Car in particular. I’m going to try to remain anonymous, but if you’re on the Quiet Car and you hear someone say, “Please lower that,” well, I guess I’ve blown my cover.
