Although the fares haven’t gone up yet, the subway is already too expensive. I predict walking is going to be on the rise.

Someone was in too much of a hurry though.

carrier hotel
I hoped to get a few photos

It seems that as of late 2008 Y2K has finally arrived, and it had nothing to do with poor computer programming practice.

mta fail
MTA FAIL. Not only does water flow in unimpeded from the street, the ceiling leaks 3 feet away. It’s been like this for years.

worthless workers. mta fail2.
MTA FAIL2. They were at the edge of the street when I arrived. Three hours later, this crew of at least 10 workers, and 2 MTA police had 30 feet of blacktop to show for themselves. This may be one reason why the MTA is more in the red than some countries spend in a year.


The gardens on High St. look more than a bit less impressive than last year.

torn up
This place was sold about six years ago, and has been continually screwed with ever since. Six years of construction.

moneys
This is what a private bailout loan looks like. It ain’t pretty, really.

right back atcha.
The Union St. sign weirdness continues.

annieone in there?
“Annie’s Garden”, one of the many (apparently) “Gardens of Union”.

Right now, this somehow appropriately (if cryptically) sums up my absence.

Billy leads a hard life

And for the many who’ve asked, Billy has successfully made the transition to Brooklyn, even though we’ve never found a quite suitable frisbee place.
