3. What IS a speonk?
Isn't Speonk a great name? So odd. One of those old Indian (Native American) names.
It just sounds so weird. :)
More importantly, what were you doing on the Long Island Railroad?

Why, I was going to Fire Island! It was 94 in the City yesterday, I wanted out! And it was fantastic. (You take the Speonk line after transferring at Jamaica from Penn Station, but you get off in Sayville, which is before Patchogue.)
I have to agree with Joel on this one ...
