The Conductor is on vacation for a wedding this week. He’s not getting married, he’s not an idiot but he’s got a lot of things like unlimited stews and gators on the golf course to worry about. He apologizes about leaving the passengers out to dry Thursday, but not really. He has been so generous to us we can’t complain anyway. Let’s have ourselves a weekend at Belmont Park. Let’s Ride.
