At long last (Trump authorized this project in his first term) the Green Line Light Rail extension to Eden Prairie whispered past our place this week. They're just testing the systems and will be for quite some time, but it was fun to see. The red arrow marks our unit, a great vantage point to monitor the future service. There is great entertainment value for us seniors. We don't know how often we'll go downstairs and take a ride, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for trackside restauranting from here to St. Paul. The dangers of freeways with its drunk drivers, speeders, ragers, carjackers, weavers, lane jumpers, black ice, winter driving conditions, construction backups, jams and deadly accidents will be a thing of the past. An occasional mugging would be child's play, be front page news and scare everyone.
