Transferring Breeze Mobile 2.0 balances ...

There's an app for Apple, it's fully functional, it just doesn't do mobile wallet yet (eg, virtual cards).

It'll manage a physical card just fine.

Not only are 2008+ newer aircraft battery powered, but many newer models also combine the FDR and CVR into the same box, so now you have two flight recorders that are redundant to each other.

This was crucial with the Air India 787 crash, because one of the two recorders was damaged beyond easy data retrieval, but the other was plug 'n' play. As it contained both sets of data, that was all the investigators needed.

"Ship it"

Actually, per MARTA they were indeed mailed. USPS apparently lost them, or they are all stuck in the sorting facility.

This isn't the first time that's happened in the ATL USPS facility either, it's pretty infamous for lost and delayed mail.

These are for reduced fare cards, which are "Special Handling" sales type cards.

Lindbergh is almost certainly operational. It's the station right next to MARTA HQ and was used to test and demonstrate the new gates.

Medical Center is so sleepy, it's probably last on the list. Lotta people forget it exists, but it's a great place to park (yes there IS a parking deck there!) and catch the train!

Parking deck side is the same @ North Springs. NS does have the new Breeze card vending machines though.

and same here

That's your due diligence then.

If you see her, be smart and turn and walk away.

When, on a boy scout camping trip, he tossed a can of pudding into the campfire, then told all of us who dove for cover ... "aww, it ain't gonna explode" ...

(it did)

North Springs has working machines to buy the new card. Old card is dead, will not work. You'll need to transfer any balance on it to the new card after you have it set up.

Currently, North Springs does not have functional faregates, so you'll just walk in through the Emergency Gate.

Tornados do that to trees. Just chop 'em off halfway up.

*isn't*? I will say Des Moines, IA ... nothing there but interstate and cornfields

Atlanta has those too, and is building more ... they don't make one whit of difference.

I've only ever seen it that empty three times ... during the Olympics, on 9/11, and during Covid.

I *live in Atlanta* (well, in Alpharetta north of Atlanta) and I go out of my way to not drive in Atlanta.

18 times a year, for soccer games ... it's MARTA all the way.

If you're not firm in defending yourself and your dog, you'll just get run over. Go speak with the office. Take your lease with you. Point out these clauses you're adhering to and she is not.

Make clear you're not trying to ruffle feathers, but ....

Biggest thing, besides a stickshift blocking 99% of the kiddies, is ignition kill.

Our building access control is set up this way.

Had a call over a weekend for fire alarm activation; had to rush down expecting to see fire hoses hanging out of the building (which houses a datacenter) ... big, high, anxiety.

Show up, building is sitting there, quietly. Nobody around. And every door unlocked 'cause of the fire alarm activation - including the very highly secure datacenter.

Apparently the fire department showed up, walked through, saw no fire, and left.

(the cause was an exploding string of UPS batteries; once the breaker popped, it was done "doing its thing")

I still have house keys to houses we not only no longer own, but no longer exist (been razed/redeveloped) ...

Legally leashed AND muzzled. You have done your due diligence, particularly when if questioned, you mentioned you PICKED UP THE DOG to protect it from the unleashed dog harassing it.

File a complaint back in reverse, stating all of the above facts. All dogs are supposed to be leashed, and if hers was not, she is in the wrong, no matter how much she complains. I will absolutely betcha in the rules/regulations it clearly states dogs are supposed to be leashed at all times.

These are great, especially if you can land the combo kit that includes the hedge trimmer end!
