Speaking of riding the train ...
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the Long Island Railroad, has a surplus this year so they decided to do something for the regular commuters. Did they lower the fares? No. Did they give us a discount on our monthly tickets for December? No. Anyone who buys a monthly ticket for December gets a free 10 trip off-peak ticket. The monthly ticket entitles you to unlimited trips during the calendar month so a 10 trip off-peak ticket, even if it's free, is useless to a regular monthly commuter. Why give it to us?

I do have question of my own:
What is a Saluki? It comes up every year when Southern Illinois makes March Madness, but no one has ever solved it.
Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
