Environmental lawyer (the good kind). Portage, Wisconsin Amtrak Station super-fan. Emotionally over-invested in Bucks basketball.
As a Bucks fan there is something sweet about seeing another team get TJ-McConnelled to death.
TJ McConnell with 23 points, 8 assists, 4 steals including his patented steal on an in-bounds pass following the go-ahead bucket by Pascal Siakam with 10 seconds left.
And I thought he ran out of gas. SMH.

Hell yeah! Bus-to-bart just got significantly cheaper. Combined with the increased bridge tolls and we may get people back on public transit.
I hope every transit agency doesn't shut up about this for months
out there every day putting signs in front of drivers telling them transit just got cheaper so why not take the bus and enjoy not being stuck in traffic
this is one of the largest non-capital project changes to transit in decades
