Fourth Street and D!

I'm heading home to the NYC area for a couple days this week.

This is always a highlight of my year-- the chance to spend time in a city that actually possesses some of the benefits of city living in addition to the negatives (which are so apparent in Detroit).

Of course this year, my trip coincides nicely with a threatened transit strike that would serve as the functional equivalent of having everyone's cars just stop running at the same instant in the middle of rush hour in any other city.

If the subways and busses shut down, forget it. That city is going to be impossible to get around. Well... unless you feel like waiting three hours to go half a mile in traffic or walking 80 blocks in 15 degree weather.

So I'm asking you, you wonderful transit workers, please don't go out on strike this week. Because it would really fuck up my holidays.

Kthxbye.

UPDATE: Fuck.
