    I’m not really sure what was going on here. It was raining like cats and dogs outside, so I can see wanting to get out of the weather and have a nap. But, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there may have been a more low profile way to go…

    [photo by trevor Little] -I missed out on the Red Bull Snowscraper event yesterday/last night. I don’t feel too bad about it, since it was way too cold to be standing around outside for a long period of time (and I was working, kind of late). There is a rumor that it is going to…

    I boarded the A at 168th today, since I was leaving from the hospital, instead of home. As a result, there were already more people on the train, than when I normally get on. There was, however, one seat between a kind of nerdy looking guy and a big dude. They were both sitting there…

    There have been plenty of times that I have boarded the train in the morning with a bunch of high school aged kids in my car. Normally there is a lot of shouting and carrying on. Occasionally there will be some chanting of school names, etc. At least I assume that it was they are…
