I'm blanking, what do you call it when you have satellite TV, a subscription?

Ooh, underground tunnels to other buildings, that sounds exciting!

Here's a map of downtown. The tunnels are the solid red lines [link]

This guy apparently blogs about them [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

There's a series of tunnels in Houston too. Which was kind of a problem when the city flooded in 2001.

Does this mean that same-sex spouses can be covered byyour insures, but you have to pay taxes on that as "income"?

Speci al NOTE regardin g
domestic partner AND
same-sex legal sp ouse coverage:The premiums for domestic partners/same-sex legal spouses, and any children they bring to the partnership,are paid with after-tax dollars, while the premiums you pay for health care plan coverage are paid with tax-free dollars. This means you will have imputed income equal to the value of the benefit provided by the University for these dependents. Only nonqualified domestic partners/ same-sex legal spouses are subject to this provision.

I think it's something about having to move people around downtown in the summer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Montreal has a great underground. Building connected by malls that run underground. You can walk a few metro stops without coming up for sun.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

We have a great underground concourse of shops at Rockefeller Center and extending beyond it, but not really anywhere else in New York which is a shame. The WTC site was the only other one that I can think of.

Yes, that is what it means.

Well, that sucks. Not for me, but in general. Also, they couch it such vague terms that it is hard to understand.

And insurance sucks, and I have no idea how to choose a plan and I hardly use it. I think the best option might be the one with a Health Savings Account, and a really high deductible (which you put in the HSA just in case) However, I can find no information on how exactly the HSA works, and frankly, if I have to be sending in paperwork for reimbursement, I am just going to be losing that money. I am so tempted to pay the high price and go back to having co-pays, but I know that I pretty much only see the doctore once or twice a year.

There's a potluck happening in the meeting room next to my office. It is loud.
