The CBC reporter said that today, the only Miracle on 34th St. he saw was a traffic jam at 4 AM.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Now I'm off to my own commute, which should be a deal less fraught.

One good thing from today. I will be home when UPS tries to delivery again (I missed yesterday).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, and Bobby Cuza, transit beat reporter, is my new BFF.
I love that there is a transit beat reporter. His show is my favorite on NY1.

Segueing from commuting to local stuff, I’m still kinda reeling from yesterday’s Chalks crash. For a lot of people here the seaplane to the Bahamas is like a commuter flight. I see it got a lot of national press, but here it has left people in shock. The seaplanes never crash. The Chalks flights are always an adventure. They are incredibly noisy. They shake and sound so bad you are always convinced that they will fall apart before they take off. The only thing that got me through the short hop to the islands was the sure knowledge that somehow they always make it. The small private aircraft with weekend pilots go down all the damn time, but never Chalks.
There were all sorts of surfers, jet skiers, and boaters around that were instantly on the scene of the crash, but no survivors. It is odd that it is upsetting me as much as it is since I very rarely actually fly Chalks anymore, but it just isn’t supposed to happen.

Why are they reporting on poll numbers between potential candidates for president in 2008? Can't we get a little time off? Why does a television show featuring a woman president mean we have to assume Hillary and Condi will run against each other in 2008? Where is the remote that I need to turn off the television that tortures me so?

Well, I made it.
There was tons of traffic in Brooklyn, but once we got on the bridge, it was empty. It's eerie how well the HOV checkpoint thing is working.
(Though I do have to wondet how much easier this has been made by it being the week before Christmas -- I'm guessing there are many people who just started their holidays early.)
I had no internet when I left the house this morning. TWC said there was a service issue in my area. Hopefully that'll be taken care of by the time I get home.
