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 Seat-and-a-Halfer (messius heavii)
It's a busy day on safari today on the LIRR. This elusive species of commuter tends to inhabit the window seat of a 3-seater but takes up half of the adjacent seat as well. Generally female, morbidly obese and heavily bearded with long nails and black whiskers. Likely to be sporting a stretch-cotton ensemble featuring the color hot pink and reeks of Eternity. Belongings typically carried in plastic Shop-Rite bags. Beware of noxious fumes, as this creature has a highly sensitive defense mechanism similar to the skunk. Stinky when startled.
