Eek. And I thought my half hour commute to school was bad.

Hope you have a nice comfy car, good air conditioning (I saw it was supposed to be like 98 in NY today, it's 94 here), a good radio, and a cup holder. I don't have a cup holder.

So that's how you know all the ratings. Very interesting.

What kind of stuff do you write? That's my newest aspiration: to write. I want to write fiction novels. I should have majored in English from day one since I've always liked writing, but I was one of those people that goes to college half-blind.

I mostly write about who is watching the broadcast networks although I do venture over to the top rated cable networks when relevant.

No, I don't drive in. I actually park my car at a park and ride, take the bus or train into Manhattan, and then get on a subway.

Last Thursday, it reached 105 degrees in Central Park. It was the worst heat I have ever experienced.

Dumb question, but are the subways like the subways people ride on TV? All dark, dank, and graffiti covered?

105 huh? YUCK! How many people did they have to scoop off the sidewalk?

It's not a dumb question. The subways are hot, hot, hot. Probably 120 degrees in the summertime. Not too much grafitti anymore. The trains are clean and if you see any grafitti, it's on the walls. But not much anymore. The police have really cracked down on that. I'm in the Times Square station, which is one of the biggest and most confusing. A tourist could get lost and die of all age without ever being found in there.

Well, there's a ringing endorsement for tourism!

Don't get lost!!!

Yeah, riding 'the tube' in England is quite an experience too. I imagine it's somewhat like the subway in NY. Ick.

Yeah but the company is good on the tube in London.

Roz1013 · 08-13-2001, 09:23 PM

Yeah, especially the smelly drunken sot passed out in the seat next to me when I rode it, lol. Ick.

I have no idea why my response came out twice {up above}. Oh, well.

Noting could be worse than the NY subways.....especially in the summertime. The platforms are about 130 degrees. Thankfully the cars are air conditioned. But England has to be better. It just has to be.

Roz1013 · 08-14-2001, 02:55 PM

Well I don't think it was quite 130 degrees, but it was bloody hot down there! I wonder why they're so hot.
