Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!
Pilot on me!!
Good morning y'all! A few things going on in the transit expansion world that y'all might find interesting:
Campbellton Corridor
Last week, MARTA held a virtual public meeting for its work so far on the Campbellton Corridor high-capacity transit route. You can watch a recording of that here.
Mostly they went through material already in the website, discussing the trade offs for Light Rail vs Bus Rapid Transit. What response they got during the meeting seemed pretty strongly in favor of the Light Rail option over BRT, and I heard from a community leader (don't remember her name sadly) later on that that was pretty good news for them, so good?
I, personally, prefer the light rail route despite the cost and higher property impacts. From what I can tell, the LRT costs were already factored into the More MARTA project list, so they're not really messing with that, and there are plans to integrate the route into the larger BeltLine / streetcar system per the More MARTA project list anyway. That connectivity is important, and worth it IMO.
It's good to hear MARTA talking about developmental profiles for each of the stations along the route, though I don't think they're trying to do any property acquisition for ground lease revenue or anything like that. Too bad, because there's some real opportunity for doing sprawl repair and infill (looking at you, Greenbriar Mall) along the route.
MARTA Bus Network Redesign
No idea when this went public, but there's an Official Website Here!
Tons of neat stuff there, with good explanations and visuals and videos about what's been going on with the bus network redesign. The most interesting thing to me, at least, is this PDF report about the current network and its issues.
That report has a TON of interesting bits of data, showing ridership productivity of routes, how peak times shape fleet size, shortcomings of the traditional station-terminus network design, visualizations on where transit is best increasing jobs access, case studies, and a whole chunk dedicated to talking about how unlikely 'on demand' service is to do much good as an alternative service type.
Something that shows up a few places in the report is how access to the bus ne

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
