Jessica - how long do you need the car? for the whole summer? Can you CarShare? I forget the length of term they're willing to give... wonder if there's someone up in Canada who would want to drive it back for you.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Google tells me that the only carsharing service in NY is Zipcar, which has limits on how far you can drive their cars away from their home base. (And they only include 150 free miles, which makes them pretty unworkable for long trips.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It is an odd headline, although I think he may be right -- not just for the wedding tourism, but in more long-term ways, as full equality proves to be a draw for people and companies.

How is it not lunchtime yet? What should I get for lunch? Not a burrito, I've had like 3 of them this week already and I'm not in shoes to wear for burrito-fetching (the places are a relatively long walk away) I am thinking a meatball sub but don't actually know where to get one, dammit!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Psst. Nora's not wearing burrito shoes. Pass it on.

You may be hearing the same from me in the coming months: they're adding to the top floor, which involves demo-ing parts of the top two floors. I'm just glad my office isn't one directly below the construction.
Speaking of tearing things up for more building, how's the kitchen ?
