Back to school, back to school...

Well not really -- today was the first day back to work/school for many in the area and this morning's commute was a breeze compared to what last Friday's commute did to snarl the train schedule into work. Thankfully I was off and didn't have to worry about it, but the e-mail alerts I was getting made me squirm just thinking about it. 

Either way, hopefully this week, there are very little to no issues on the train, as I'm headed to sunny, warm Florida on Thursday to visit my in-laws. Always a plus in why I married my husband ;)

I disagree, Jimmy McMillan.

Lonely train home

On Tuesday, I worked an abbreviated day to get out of the city early and avoid this monstrosity being produced about 4 blocks from where I work, which it turns out, didn't have nearly as many people as they thought it would and of which freaked all us locals out. 

But because I left early and it was a technical Federal holiday -- this was the train home:

A very unusual sight. 

And one I wouldn't mind seeing more of from time to time :)

Sometimes...

Sometimes you just don't want to haul butt to make the 5:20 train at 5:16. 

That's why there's another train in 25 minutes.
