Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Thank Goodness My Days of Commuting to New Jersey Are Over

Rail service in and out of New York continues to be subject to significant delays. Midtown Direct service is diverted to Hoboken Terminal. Rail tickets/passes are being cross-honored by @PATHTrain at Newark Penn, Hoboken and 33rd St., @NJTRANSIT_NBUS, and private carriers.

The TV News reported delays of two hours or more on NJ Transit last night. Thank goodness I was home and didn't have to face this. I guess Governor Phil Murphy has not solved rail problems that have persisted for yours. I haven't even set foot into the state of New Jersey since I retired in December 2017.
