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.

Is it really possible I got the same portly gentleman as yesterday next to me?

This species is also known for using more than its allotted arm space, sighing loudly and often without apparent cause, and getting off at Jamaica.
