May rolled in and it was all trains at the Sobczak household as a crowd of friends young and old gathered here for Adam's 2nd birthday party where a neighborhood trackless train took everyone for as many rides as their hearts desired within the contracted one-hour period.

If there is a universal truth in the world, it is this:
The person in charge of providing the public with notice that a normally accessible and usable facility(bathroom, water fountain, ATM) is currently not usable, the person who wrote the paper sign affixed to that out-of-service facility, is not familiar with how to spell the word 'inconvenience'.
"Sorry for the inconvence, the inconvience, the inconvenice........ Sorry for the hassle. - MGMT"
