On the train today, well at the station, the speaker announced that car with registration number col238 left their lights on. How nice of the person who reported it to the station in the first place? I wish there was such a nice person the times I left my lights on. Would have saved me [...]

Tricks of the train #2
October 27, 2008
On the train today, you get a better seat if you wait in the right spot on the platform, that is where the train doors will open. Some people think that it is purely luck. But it is not for the skilled everyday commuter. First of all you need to know the station. Trains roughly [...]
The aliens are here
October 24, 2008
On the train today, I was thinking about something I saw in the news last night. This guy in turkey who has been filming these objects flying in the sky. He says he has 2 1/2 hours of footage. You can see a summary video online. It looks impressively real. And there are supposedly plenty [...]
Poor exhausted man
October 23, 2008
On the train today, a construction man was exhausted. It’s a good enough reason to hog two 3-seaters and rest his dirty construction boots on the seat. The commuters who have to stand up and those who will eventually dirty their pants when they sit there will surely understand that it’s perfectly acceptable. After all, [...]
Latest scores
October 22, 2008
On the train today, this guy sitting on my seat was watching a live european soccer game on his mobile phone and ear phones. You could tell from his facial expressions that his team must have been suffering at the end but finally won the game as he let go an audible cheer. The final [...]
Not my day
October 20, 2008
On the train today, rush cost me more. See, I pay my weekly ticket on Tuesdays. I insert the expired ticket into the machine; then I insert the money into the machine; then the machine gives me a new ticket. Blind folded routine. Today the machine asked me for a few more dollars. I thought [...]
Bug on a train
October 20, 2008
On the train today, there was a commuter of a different sort. This peculiar black-and-gold insect was holding on to the ceiling. I bet you he did not pay his fare, bugger!
Space wars
October 17, 2008
On the train today, I fought for my space. I sat on the only available seat. It was a 2 seater and the guy already sitting down possessed it like a king’s throne, legs widely spread. So I squeezed and sat down and he didn’t move a hair, faking he was asleep. But I had [...]
Thirsty good man
October 15, 2008
On the train today, a good man was thirsty for alcohol. But the good man did not want to break the law. So he changed the law. The good man made it legal to drink alcohol on trains. Cheers good man! But fines still apply.

On the train today, people are reading: A geeky looking lady is reading A painted house by John Grisham A young blonde lady is reading Tripwire by Lee Child A black-skirt denim-jacket lady is reading Leadbelly The Inside Story of an Underworld War by John Silvester and Andrew Rule. I wonder if she’s part of [...]
