Using stuff to secure place in line?

   Why do you get to the slug-line at 5:20 if the first car doesn't pick up until 5:55? Don't you have anything better to do, like sleep?[?]

	As I see it, you want the benefit of being the first to ride, but don't want the cost of having to stand in line. My take is, if you leave stuff to hold your place but don't return before the first slug who's willing to stand outside arrives, you're no longer first in line. You're now second.

	Hi Alonsito - It shouldn't matter what the weather conditions are -- since the slug system first started over 30 yrs ago, people form a line to catch a ride. Since riders at the lot have expressed their opposition to this new practice being instituted, go back to the way it has worked & stand in line.

	I posted on the other thread and will post here too. Leaving unattended bags anywhere these days is not a good idea. Do it at the airport and your bag is gone and blown to pieces. Maybe no one thinks someone will plant a pipe bomb at Horner Road. I prefer not to have that thought as I stand next to a black duffel at 5 AM. This is not a question of etiquette (I mean it it, but it now goes beyond that). It is a question of safety. Sorry, call me paranoid, but I don't want slugging to become famous because we have our very own Madrid.
