"Bob's commute into the city just became much shorter."
This is what’s left of Leroy,s hobbies. He just sold the planes and boats. At least is home more often?
No Ballast!
Tomorrow he starts installing the third rail in the middle.
"I guess I should have been less specific when I told John 'no more MODEL trains' in this house!"
"You know the new people down the hall in 3A? I hear they have a third rail in the middle of theirs! How gauche."
Yes, all the table lamps are plug n' play. Why do you ask?
It's not so bad now that the neighbors have passed a no horn ordinance.
We got a fabulous discount on this condo in Hudson Yards!
The listing said it was close to a rail line.

He'll clean with it there
I thought he was Italian when he said "the house-iz-all-a-mine"
I misunderstood him tying the decors together with ties
You should see what I let him get away with in the basement
...it has a dinning car...
It looked smaller online
