The NY subway has never made as much sense to me as I was sure it should have.
I found myself a bit confused the last time I had to take the subway in New York. A lot had changed in the three years I'd been gone.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

I don't mind the Salem tourism for all months that do NOT rhyme with "Shocktober." The Halloween stuff is just *so* overwhelming and in a very area, it really, really impacts daily life (mostly weekends.)
I don't mind the summertime tourism because summertime kind of makes me a tourist in my own town, in that "gee, what a cool place this is!" way. Though, this year, I've discovered that tour guides are huckstering much more aggressively and it makes me uncomfortable on Essex Street.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I find myself confused most weekends and I not only have lived here for the last 10 years, but also get weekend advisory emails. I have learned to just give myself over to the MTA overlords and go with what presents itself after making what I feel are informed guesses as to a route.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ooh, Allyson, that's so very cool!

add to the list of things I do not understand, I can access flickr from work, but not LJ pics.

Congrats Allyson.
I am sitting at work, not working, stressing about my cat, who wouldn't eat much this morning. I really want to go home.

I mind because it means tourist season lasts an extra two months than is normal for most parts of New England (I'm not counting ski season). Usually once Labor Day passes, things die down (apart from the few weeks when the leaves change), but in Salem that's when it starts revving up to peak.

I love it. The judges are librarians and booksellers, and that makes it even sweeter, I think. I feel like Scarecrow after he got the diploma from the Wizard.
