This is certainly a start, but septa still does not know what caused the cracks and how to fix them. Thousands of Regional Rail riders are all caught in the middle of this. That means theres 13,000 fewer seats available. Getting the cars back on track is a priority for those riders, but in the meantime, so is transparency. And thats what this morning tease demonstration was all about. We need to build the confidence of the public, so when we do return the cars to service, that theyre safe.

Its not just because theyre another pretty face on the red carpet, its because theyre unbelievably talented and work really, really hard. Zbloo im like you. Im a casual tennis player, but we love the game, go to new york for the u. S. Open every other year or so. I so understand the game. What was it was it something that surprised you about the world of professional tennis . There was a lot that surprised me pip mean, first, what i didnt realize at all was the season is like 10 1 2 months yeah, theres no offseason in tennis. These women just go. They go, and go, and go. They travel, live out of suitcases, are in a Different Hotel every night. That was really intense. It also surprised me that when you look at the top ten ranked men, seven are married, one are divorced. The top ten ranked women, none. So i think its, you know, its something thats harder for the female athletes. Which makes it even more incredible what they do. And it is a grueling lifestyle, as portrayed by your main character in the book, right . Yes, my main characters name is charlie silver. She wants to be ranked number one. She wants to win a slam. But obviously, its going to take a whole lot to get there and she needs to decide whether its worth it or not. While you were doing your research, you run into any tennis parents . Theyre out there, arent they . Its definitely a phenomenon. I made it so charlie didnt have that. But that is definitely something that happens. All right.
