   After three hours of riding the subway activity seems to plateau. I'm not sure if it's reality or my mind and body saying enough for today, Or a combination of the two.

   Things have change too much and it seems that anything interesting is now a part time occupation. There can only be a limited amount of interesting in a single day. Is it a union thing, or, is it the two younger generations can only handle so much before they become overwhelmed? The rush hours on the subway are greatly shorter from 10 years ago, and unbelievably shorter than 25 years ago. Is it the spoiled youth riding into seclusion inside their gloried car share services of Uber and Lyft? Is it the push towards a 32 hour work week? At some point will the subway become obsolete?
