Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bob Hargiss is a commuter who lives 60 miles north of New York City. Every working day he gets up not long after the farmers in nearby areas to where he lives in Newburgh, has his breakfast, gets dressed and gets to the train station where he takes the express train for the one and one-half hour ride into Manhattan to work, and later coming home after most people and families have had dinner and have since relaxed from the demands of the day. He has done this for many years, along with thousands of others in that metropolitan area. But who IS a Bob Hargiss the commuter? How has he come to endure the same routine that others like him undertake, causing non-commuting strangers to ask him, "How do you do it?" and saying things like, "I could NEVER do that!" But Hargiss does it, because for him there is no better way to support his family, give them a comfortable home, and maintain a sense of self-respect. In a sense, every working person has a little of Bob Hargiss in them, when it comes to taking responsibility and being reliable, enabling the engines of the economy to keep chugging.and choo-chooing.along. And you may find that, to a certain extent, Hargiss' story is your story, and you are not alone when it comes to dealing with people and elements around you in various situations. There is a human side to all of us, even to commuters who may appear faceless to most as they.and perhaps you.are part of the masses that swoop into New York and other cities away from home to work. Anyone, whether they're curious of the life of a commuter or they're commuters themselves, admired by some and looked at with wonder or amazement by others, will enjoy this book, whether you read it on the train, a bus, during lunchtime or quietly at home.
