(Jul 9) To kill some time before dinner with Preed, I finally returned to Roosevelt Island.

modern dinosaur
Out on Long Island, What is this scary thing?

awaiting a hotel no one wants
Destruction complete

its residents shipped off to a vastly suckier location
Over to Roosevelt Island, the shell of Coler-Goldwater Hospital

a total ghost town
Typical of work done by large contractors,

hurry up and do nothing
It’s the middle of the day, and no work in sight taking place

i saw a total of *one* vehicle behind the fence
This is why it’s going to take years,

what's the hurry, right?
Everything takes forever when you’re not actually doing anything.

cheaper than doing the right thing though
All this blocked off for the convenience of the construction that’s not taking place

These mimosas have yet to fall to the disease wiping them out.

No Dorkbot for me this month either. If I don’t make it in May, I’ll have to wait until September.

My bank’s technology choices continue to frighten me, though unsurprising they may be.

Delilah has become the most affectionate cat I’ve ever seen. When she goes back in heat again, it’s going to be crazy.

They’re glad it’s almost over at this point.

diesels in the night, exchanging horn blasts
Then I ended up out on Long Island, taking the lamentable 6:49PM from Stony Brook. This train takes 30 minutes longer to get to the city than any other since it waits in stations while the rush hour traffic passes it on the single track of the Port Jefferson Branch.
