On the inattentiveness of daily life.

No matter how much I wanted to get to work, I wouldn't go down into an underground train station while the fire alarm was going off. Certainly not this week.

Well, the people who run the PATH usually aren't clueless. Or not as clueless as some of the lesser travelled NYC subway lines (The S train comes to mind).

So what did you do?

He probably walked to work. It's only 0.6 miles door to door, and the 6-block detour to the PATH station doesn't increase the distance that much, even though it takes him off the crow-fly route (the next PATH station is across the street from his office complex).

OTOH, if he was thinking about taking the PATH, he was either late or carrying something.

Probably he was just late.

late happens alot. Today I went by the bank and I was hungry, so I went to Burger King.

What I did, though was "continue exiting" and watched the people who were going down the escalator.
