Religion and AC
Today's commute featured a delay in Bridgeport while passengers from an earlier disabled train boarded our already hot, crowded train. Seated next to me were two black gentlemen sharing a headset. They must've been listening to a sermon because every now and then, one or the other of them would shout out "hallelujah" or "amen brother." Finally, the doors closed, the train started moving and the AC came back on. "Hallelujah" said one of the black men, still listening intently to his headset. An old woman behind me called out, "Uh huh, you got that right."
