#NYC is such a sweaty city! Today was not extremely hot, but in less than two miles of walking (and not at a high speed either), my shirt was damp with sweat. I did not check the relative humidity, but it must be fairly high. -

Also, there was a taxicab that jumped a curb and struck 6 people in Manhattan yesterday around 13:00. This was around 29th Street. I was above a mile away, near 14th Street at the time.

When I was working in one borough, I found a #Target store and discovered a brand of #lotion that I really liked. The last few days, I've been to a few Target stores in the current #NYC borough without finding the lotion.
They (and others) do the same with #yogurt. Except with #yoghurt, there is a tendency to have it the time you decide to try a particular brand and flavor of the product, and then never have it again.In conversation from web permalink -

Another person thrown onto the #NYC subway tracks. This time, she was not killed and the perpetrator was caught.
And a bus driver was stabbed by a violent person who wanted to board between stops. The suspect is still on the loose.
Mayor Adams, where are the #NYPD patrols you promised on the buses and subways 🚊?In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

I often wonder how long it takes people to form an effective mental map of #NYC and its five boroughs. Even the public transit system can be a confusing mess of routes. In conversation from mustard permalink -

#NYC seems a lot more willing to block off a street for an event than most #SoCal cities. Today, a church had a festival. The street was barricaded and the street was filled with music and dining. Both the #USA flag and the #Greece flag were being flown. In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

Dealing with hotels is such a bother. If I am set to be in your establishment for a month or more, you don't have to put a hold on my card for the entire amount. You can hold a week at a time, so I have the ability to pay for other work related expenses.
Getting contacted by HQ about the hotel's excessive holds is also not fun. This happened in #PR also, but never anywhere else before I came to #NYC.In conversation from mustard permalink -

Walked through parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan today. Sat in Washington Square Park and listened to a group of seniors strumming guitars and singing. I recognized 'Nowhere Man'. Then some people playing brass horns started playing across the park.
#NYC feels really humid recently. Even sitting in the shade leaves me drenched in sweat.In conversation from mustard permalink -

I don't have any clarity about when my last day in #NYC will be. I'm tempted to send the #Win10 laptop home when I send the main ( #Kubuntu ) laptop home. Maybe I can get a basic, inexpensive Chromebook or a cheap #Win11 two-in-one to use for the rest of my time here.
If I knew a specific date, I might decide to hold onto the Win10 machine ... or to get a full replacement computer.In conversation from web permalink -

Previously, I was in walking distance of where I worked, so I had no commuting. Having done 2-3 hours driving in each direction several years ago, commuting is one of the things I dislike most.
So if someone asked me how I liked #NYC, my andwer was of the "I don't have to commute, so it is good" variety. But now, I can mention the pop up musical groups as the major positive.
(The subway and my previous walk to work is more the absence of a negative.)In conversation from mustard permalink -

I don't know whether I responded. Yes, troubleshooting data would be useful. I'm still in #NYC, but I'm hoping to do some major updates to all !fnetworks sites when I return to #SoCal. In conversation from web permalink -

In #NYC today, they blocked off a street near Union Square and had various vendors set up in the street. There was German bratwurst stand (the family actually has a Deutsch accent), so I bought a chicken brat.
I suppose this is an Easter thing. There was a smaller food vending area a couple of miles away yesterday. I saw it, but did not stop to buy anything.In conversation from web permalink -
