My children observe that I post on Facebook about three topics -- each of them and how much I dislike the LIRR.

And now we head into the summer of Train Pain. I know that these summer repairs are important and need to happen. But, commuting when every government official, news outlet and fellow commuters are predicting a torturous summer isn't really appealing.

Anyone think these repairs are going to be finished by the beginning of September? Wish me luck!
