Love the Gumbo Pot at the Farmer's Market. (In other F.M. recommendations, Loteria is solid for Mexican food - very good mole sauce, and I hear that the Pampas Grill for Argentine-styled grilled meats is a winner.) On Sep 30, 6:49 pm, "Kevin M." wrote: > On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 5:46 PM, David Bru

Either you purchased it at a rail vending machine (there is still a transitional period during which the day pass can issued on a rail ticket, but that is scheduled to end within the next several months, once all the vending machines are reconfigured) or you were on a bus where the operator ran out
