Train Time

March 29, 2017 thequirkydigest1 Comment

Hello lovely reader! I hope you are having a wonderful day today.  If it’s not wonderful, I hope you are able to take a few moments to relax and let the negativity wash away.  Take a nice hot shower, or even a bath if you have a tub, and just chill for a little while.…… Continue reading Train Time

I Am Stubborn

August 24, 2016August 12, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

I get it from my mother. That’s not true. I get it from myself.  Although I probably picked it up from a lot of the people I have interacted with, during my short time on this planet. But I am very stubborn.  And I’m stubborn about things that don’t even matter, while I am a…… Continue reading I Am Stubborn

Offensively Smelly

June 29, 2016June 23, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

I have a pattern here of talking about things that I make, and the train that I take.  The two are usually interconnected as I have a lot of time to myself on my daily commute.  This time, I’d like to talk about smells. Yes. Smells. If you have ever been in a public space,…… Continue reading Offensively Smelly

Cup Holders

June 22, 2016June 14, 2016 thequirkydigest3 Comments

Cup holders.  A first world solution to a first world problem.  But honestly, why not?  According to the New York MTA around 1.8 billion people use the subway service and 85 million people use the railroad annually.  That’s a lot of people.  Most of which are probably repeat riders, like myself.  I see many people…… Continue reading Cup Holders

It looks like this week is train week.  So, let’s talk about trains. I have the luxury of commuting with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), using their Metro North railways to get in and out of New York City for my lovely day job. There are several lines which come into the city, and each…… Continue reading Train Quirks
