Carrying a 32-inch by 40-inch mat board around makes you aware how big other things are.
- The rack on the 2nd floor of the Metra train is just short of 32 inches.
- A Metra two-person seat is just over 32 inches wide.
- On a Metra train, there’s a row of single seats by the wall on the other side of the bathroom. That wall is just over 32 indhes wide–the perfect place to stash a 32×40″ mat board.

That is too funny! Carrying a 32-inch by 40-inch mat board around not only makes you aware of how big it and other things are, it also makes you aware of how windy it is!
