I assume this is funny if you can make out what the yellow sign says?

It's all dollar signs.

See, even ronebofh figured it out, and he's not even on this coast!

I did turn the brightness setting on the camphone all the way down in a bid to get better contrast. I thought it came out clearer, but it was hard to tell on the phone screen.

Right. That's the banner where it normally says the train's destination - "ALEWIFE" or "BRAINTREE" or "QUINCY" in the case of the Red Line. This car just had a string of dollar signs on the display.

Incisive guerilla urban commentary rendered feeble by a failure of technology. Pah.

It came out pretty fuzzy. I had to look hard at the largest size Flickr had to offer to figure it out.

I got it immediately...but that's only because I've seen that condition before. :-/

For some reason, that's totally adorable.

I MISS THE ALEWIFE T. It makes me think of home in Cambridge, since it was so close by. And also that the first time I got to see you in your 'new' short haircut, it was just outside the T's back entrance. You were on on your bike, and I made you take off your helmet to get a better look.

Some memories will be with me forever. Then again, I remember a lot of times in your company. The memories make me smile.

Ditto. But then, I used to live a few blocks from Alewife so I was on those trains a lot.
