I don't know. I'll be checking it out tomorrow.. but I take it from the
end
of the line, so there'll be plenty of seats when I get on.

Where would that be Jon?
I know you've told me before but hey...What's my name again?

I take BART from Richmond when I need to go into SF. My boat is fairly
close to the station.

I was sailing this evening.. just got back about an hour ago.

Stunning evening.

Do they have some sort of festival near Richmond every year?

A shipmate and I were on the Bart when a black fellow pulled a knife
on me. My buddy sitting a few rows back had won a big thick brass gong
at the festival. He saw what was happening and slamed the gong into
the guys head. We had to hold him 2-3 stations until we found a BART
cop to take him. Man thoses were the good ol days, we were docked in
Oakland. My bro was there on the USCG cutter Sherman WHEC 720 in
Almeda. Heard the Sherman just brought in a record load of cocaine...
30 tons or something like that. San Francisco is really cool town to
visit.

Clearly your friend didn't hit the guy hard enough, if you had to hold him
for several stations.

In Chicago, committing such crimes on the L-trains (elevated trains) is an
automatic felony, punishable by a minimum of the max penalty for such
crimes, and non-bargainable. Since instituting that law, the bad crap has
literally disappeared. Now--you might get mugged on the platform in a
station . . .
