On the D Train…….

When I arrived at my subway stop this morning, I was informed that there was a broken rail and there would be no F train service to Manhattan. So, I had to go to Coney Island and get another line. Since I had forgotten to recharge my iPod, I had nothing to do on this very long journey….so I shot some bad photos with my blackberry. Here they are:

I should have started this while I was still on the F train so there would be photos of the Cyclone and The Wonder Wheel…..sorry.
