So, I am back in New York, and very buzzed that some people actually read the live WFC coverage. Getting here was Interesting.

First up, huge thanks to Andrew Wheeler for driving me most of the way back. He lives in New Jersey, so he dropped me off at a commuter rail station that would get me into New York. The station was at a place called Mahwah, which is presumably home to mad scientists and would be Evil Overlords.

At this point some of you might be wondering what I’m doing catching a commuter rail train on a Sunday evening, but this part of the world has a functional railway system, which is just as well, because trains were delayed on parts of the system for various reasons, and if services had not been frequent I would have been screwed. I’m particularly impressed with the New York subway whose definition of “late night” services is “after midnight”.

Anyway, I’m safely back in Astoria, and hopefully the crazy lady who got on the train half way through the journey from Mahwah has either sobered up, or been given medical treatment for whatever it is she has taken, because between then the train conductor and the policeman who had to come to remove her were very unhappy.
