I really needed this.  It must have been the hotest day in over a decade.  I got to Newark Penn Station and the departure board said that the 4:27 to NYC would be 15 minutes late.  OK, I'll wait it out.  30 minutes later the train did not come, so I had to  take the PATH.  The cars were air conditioned, but since it makes many stops on the NJ and NY side of the Hudson, it is a very slow ride.  I finally made it home at 6:45 PM almost an hour longer than usual. There are always train delays but why today!Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 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 37 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.

Oh no! I had it bad too. I was on the train between the cars and it was an oven! and then my train got stuck at elizabeth train station. My husband drove to pick me up. It took him maybe 20 minutes, the train was still there when we left.
