This was quite a bad scene along a very busy section of Route 5.  It actually prompted the Governor to show up.  Montgomery County was the scene of a terrible train wreck

We all have our talents.   People say I'm pretty good at music, for example, and I appreciate that.  But Lord knows I could NEVER make something like this.

If you were planning on taking the Amtrak or Megabus to New York City from the Albany area, you'll have to cancel your plans. Both have suspended service at least through Tuesday the 30th of October and perhaps longer depending on what Sandy leaves behind.

I'll ask again.  Is your child secure in that car seat?  Is it securely fastened? Is it facing the right way?  Is it in the front seat or the back?  Things to think about, especially this week.

There is a new study out from England that can tell whether you are potentially a speeder or not.  I guess it also applies here too, so I thought I would warn everyone.  In fact I thought it was important enough that I decided to sing the results of the study for you.  Hey, it's for your safety.

It’s funny, we always wondered just what went on inside the depths of the conductor’s booth of a train or subway. We always pictured it being a place of purpose, a place where a conductor could sit and watch the tracks and ensure the safety of the passengers.

Really? Roads completely unplowed in a major town like Niskayuna? I realize I drive in rather early, but I don't get it.  I could go on here, but I'd rather sing my complaint, if you don't mind in commemoration of the first winter snowstorm of the season.

Who conducts these studies anyway?  And do you believe them?  Well here's yet another one to ponder.

I always enjoy it when I can get guest artists to help me with song parodies.  It's even more fun when they don't know about it.

How do you calm your nerves while flying?  I don't know about you, but I stare intently at the Skymall Magazine (in the seat pocket in front of you) and tried to make a song out of it.  This was actually composed while on a 10 hour flight from Rome to Philadelphia (I need a life really bad!)

If you were at the Albany County Airport and the plane you walked onto was filled with 999 other people, would you get on? Hey.  Stranger things have happened.   Boeing Corp. is in development of a plane that holds 1,000 individuals!  That's alot of peanuts and pillows, my friend!

It's about time that our state had money coming IN!  It looks like we should be bowing to Florida's Governor right now.  Their loss is now our gain!
