This is a picture I took in Japan at Shinagawa train station around 10:00am. I am sure 99% of people working in Tokyo commute by train. If this is the image of Seattle commute the city and state governments are imaging, I don't know if I like it. Commuting scene reminds me of ants. At the peak time around 8:30, there will...
