Random inconsequential thoughts
Christmas is definitely coming - the full weight of the commerce machine is geared up for mass consumerism. But more importantly, Christmas Trees made their appearance yesterday on the streets of Brooklyn. Fresh pine scent can be smelled on the whole block - which is better than the alternative. The giant tree was lit - there was much rejoicing. But it won't be Christmas until big pots of fish line the sidewalks in my neighborhood. Go figure.
December rain sucks in New York. The combination of weather systems from the West, Canada, and the Atlantic create a windy, rainy mess. Must invest in some good rain wear.
This week it has been Talk week on public transportation. It seems that any subway car or bus I get on has one (or more) Talky McTalkerson's who like to come up to strangers and chat it up. Normally you can pick out the mentally disturbed ones and ward them off, but these people are normal, but don't just shut up. It is fairly disturbing when all you want to do is read your New York Magazine.
