Created from popular demand, this blog is all about the misadventures of a commuting everywoman, me. Here you will be able to immerse yourself in the gritty and unpleasant underworld of one of the largest commuter train systems in the country, the Long Island Rail Road. As a self-appointed "commutologist" with almost 10 years of informal field experience in the train sciences, I will faithfully identify and chronicle my interactions with the creatures that inhabit this world.

The Flycatcher (railroadius insectica)
Yep, we've got a flycatcher today. This species of commuter tends to be male, average height and weight and inhabits middle seats. Flycatchers fall into a deathlike sleep once the train leaves the station, and their mouths flop open to the widest possible diameter. Flycatchers are also known to sway with the train's motion making them dangerous and unpredictable adversaries for the passengers on either side.
