RantWoman misspeaks. General Crabbiness is an overstatement. However RantWoman is crossposting from her transit whines blog in an effort to further a general ministry of supportive presence for elderly Friends no longer able to get to worship unassisted.

RantWoman particularly commends the paragraph in the above item about use of paratransit. RantWoman has been in dialogue with Persnickety Friend. Persnickety Friend thinks someone from Meeting OWES the Friend who needs a ride, as well perhaps as the other Friend who lives in her retirement facility. RantWoman thinks Friends unquestionably have all paid in more than enough taxes to take advantage of the paratransit service!
No one with a vehicle lives close or even on a good drive route. Neither Friend at the retirement community can take the bus unaided. RantWoman is darn sure not going to volunteer to drive. In fact, RantWoman is offering what she CAN do, help shepherd the application through the needed bureaucracy and then help other Friends interact with the process of scheduling pickup and return trips. This is NO mean effort and RantWoman would appreciate it if Persnickety Friend would get over herself about other expectations. RantWoman will now resume her efforts to render the above thought in appropriate Quakerese!
