Madison. We have all door boarding and tap to pay. Its not the station dwell time, its just that we were so far ahead of schedule.

Is the removal of peak hour travel lanes on Willy Street also a housing policy?

Well, we ended up losing in disenfranchisement. Too many people lost to the prison system.

I mean, I still think its super cheap, but a few hours ago.

A year ago it was maybe $.10 or $.20 cheaper...id have to check my spreadsheet.

Some minor adjustments to TSP settings at East Washington & Melvin and Whitney Way & Mineral Point Road.

Reviewing N-S BRT with lessons learned from E-W.

Iteration is fun!

After wrapping up Clair Obscur Expedition 33, a co-worker suggested picking up the new edition of Final Fantasy Tactics. I always passed on this growing up...wish I hadn't, another great game!

Wrapped up the rulebook and learning enough to attempt a play of Cross Bronx Expressway last night.

During which the Private player needed an influx of cash before the census...suburbanization was the best route. Oof that didnt feel good to do.

Hearing Packer fans complain about Rogers getting bailed out on garbage flags.

Oh how cathartic this is.

Madison traffic congestion can be pretty much attributed to those intersections where theres never a break in traffic feeding into more complex downstream intersections.

Obvious perhaps, but consistent.

Mineral Point & Whitney Way before and after the protected intersection/signal phasing (2023 v 2025 so far).

Still reading through the rules here, but here are some interesting systems incorporated into this game.

Did your policy result in too many lost to the criminal justice system? Everyone loses.

Yikes, not a good morning.

Faction introduction booklets, rule book, historical reference book, player guides...so much!

I like the intro to each faction too.

Oof, this is going to take some time to digest.

Why a signal went into flash for several hours yesterday...a pinched cable and short.
