Nothing like that blow of stinky hot air on a platform as a train arrives in mid-August.

Yeah, it was better before they airconditioned all of the cars.

Now all of the heat from the cars gets expelled into the tunnels and platforms.

Yeah, aren't we lucky today?

I have co-workers hoofin' to the Island.

Anyhow, I've got to go find my wife and daughter. They haven't arrived yet.

Another day in the neighborhood. People from abroad would be amazed at how inured we are at this business.

We're Americans. We don't find a camera and become instant drama queens for media consumption during traumatic events. We just do what we gotta do.
