Count Something

Atul Gawande, in one his recent books (maybe Better) mentioned that one should count something all the time. I recently took a taxi to the train station and the cab driver mentioned that previously, of the people heading into the T with bags, 6 or 7 out of 10 would instead come to the taxi station right next to the T stop and take a taxi instead.

As a sign of the downturn, he mentioned that he now sees only three folks out of ten take a taxi. The rest decide to just lug their big bags down the stairs and all around the T-stops.
