Logical Eccentricity

And another reason why I want to move off Long Island and to New Jersey: the LIRR only has one tunnel going east and one tunnel going west out of Penn Station. So if a train breaks down in the tunnel, everything behind it gets messed up.

Apparently there was a broken train earlier this evening and as a result every train was delayed for 30 minyuea as they tried to fix the problem. At least I knew about the issuse through Clever Commute and was able to enter the station from the back and not get stuck waiting. But that is beside the point.

How would I fix this problem? Simple, dig more tunnels. I know they are building a tunnel for the west side access but that won’t be done for 5 years. Till then build another tunnel. What’s more, the economy is crappy, use this as a massive public relief project; anyone that wants a good paying job can come and help dig this tunnel. I’m sure we can get it done.

Either hopefully I’ll be moved out to Hoboken early next year and won’t have to deal with these problems.

This past weekend was wonderful, a great combination of the weather and fun activities. Saturday was supposed to be sent watching an electrician install wires and speakers in our den, but the dude never showed up. So, instead we drove to Foxwood Casino; surprising there were a lot of people out on the road despite the high gas prices. Now, I know that I’m looking at a very unique subsection of America, the North-East, but the roads were very crowded. We spent a couple of hours at Foxwoods, good times all around.

Sunday was spent out on Long Island tasting wine. The Long Island wine yards are very nice, and they make great wines. I don’t remember any of the names, but it all tasted great; I’ve got to go back and do some more tastings. A great part was getting the free wine glasses at each place; if you bought a tasting you got to keep the glass. This was great because I ended up with 8 glasses for my upcoming bar/wine holder when I move into my own place.

All I did on Monday was sit in the sun and enjoy the weather. Again, since it was such wonderful weather, simply sitting in the sun was a great activity, along with eating food fresh off the grill.

Hopefully all of you had an enjoyable weekend, and are ready for this short week at work.
