The process will require users to have an internet connected device that gets you through the gates, whether that’s a phone or a smartwatch. If we’re lucky we get a new MetroCard option. But it’s no guarantee. The practical and technological needs that created New York’s subway system impacts nearly everyone that lives in the city. As New Yorkers switch to new ways to pay, those who can pay will. Those who can’t are left at home. Sounds like they are using same consultant that NFL used to eliminate some people from attending football games.

Our windows looked like the car scene in Titanic from the outside. I started feeling a little better after drinking a coconut water and Gatorade. I think I may need to incorporate more coconut water in general. I don't eat a lot of fruits so I'm probably a little low in minerals. Would a daily vitamin like Centrum help?
