    About this ebook

    Stress, inconsiderate people, sweat, delays, really strange smells, massive crowds, wearying bureaucracy, funny conversations overheard, and startling things seen...these “joys” and more are the unavoidable facts of life for millions of commuters.

    Author Mike Lewis – writer, people person, observer of mankind, and fellow commuter – has regularly chronicled his adventures and gathered them into a collection of snarky, humorous, and informative observations and advice.

    Believing wholeheartedly that laughter can help us cope, this veteran of the Commuter Wars wants to help others get through their day. Random Commuter Observations (RCOs) turns a weary, exacerbated eye to the fun and revelry of commuting by showcasing funny cartoons and real-life headlines of commuting nightmares, combined with Mike’s pithy comments.

    RCOs is for all of us who trudge to work every day – whether by train, bus, or automobile – to serve as a remembrance of your daily adventures. Not.

      On Anthony Bourdain in a Tearing World

      Jun 27, 2018

      1. I made the mistake of trying to write about Anthony Bourdain with old episodes of Parts Unknown playing in the background. His sudden jarring death demanded words and witness both, so the balance seemed simple enough, an earnest attempt at paying

      This book is dedicated to all the poor slobs who have to endure the sights, smells, and sounds of a commute from Hell…or rather, through Hell.

      And to my buddy John Hetlyn, who’s been enduring like a champ an hours-long commute from Orange County, New York, to Midtown, New York, for more than thirty years.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I want to thank my family

      —Amy, Sam, and Syd—

      for putting up with me every day, as I dragged my cranky commuter self back and forth.

      Thanks to Steve Spignesi, author/coauthor extraordinaire, great friend, confidante, sounding board.

      Much love/hugs/thanks to superagent Marilyn Allen.

      My appreciation to Anthony Ziccardi, Michael Wilson, Billie Brownell, and the rest of the gang at Post Hill Press.

      I want to acknowledge all my friends who commute every day, via train, bus, auto, other(?). Special shout out to those who shared their own Random Commuter Observations with me: Chris Anderson, Eric Brandon, Gail Burke, Bob Jenny, Rachel Montgomery,

      Joe Potestivo, Janice Robertson, and Steven Schragis. Hope I didn’t forget anyone.

      Finally, thank you to all the bosses I’ve worked for over the years. Only one of them ever let me go against my wishes, from a job that forced me to commute to NYC for ninety minutes each way (if everything ran on time) and
