You Look HOT!

Seriously, all you fashionista's out there this Summer look HOT. And by HOT I mean you may want to duck into the nearest H & M or Hollister ASAP, and catch some of that free AC they have been pumping into the street illegally. I'm sitting here just wondering when boots became so fashionable to wear in Summer. OK even if they are extremely fashionable to wear all year round one might think they are also extremely hot. Those ankle boots are one thing but Uggs and Doc Martens, just the thought of wearing them even in winter makes me sweat. And to the person who posted on the message board...Would it look dumb wearing boots in Summer? Let me sum the answer up for you...YES!

Section 24-221(a)

Although it's far from top secret or classified, I'm sure most people are unaware of a law in NYC that carries a $350.00 fine and bans horn honking except in cases of "imminent danger", which is defined as "an immediate threat of harm". With that we can probably rule that if a car is headed towards you on a one way street it may be an appropriate time to make use of your claxon. However, in a situation where the traffic had ground to a screeching halt because its rush hour and your type A personality is on the verge of a heart attack, well that does not constitute an emergency except in your own mind.

neither by snow nor rain nor heat....

This morning I needed to mail something so I decided to take a walk to the post office. Sure there is a mail box on every corner as well as in my lobby but it's a movie from Net Flix and I want to get my monies worth. Along the way I meet my neighbor and it became a journey, with a coffee break on the way. We stood outside the post office talking, when suddenly we heard the most alarmingly repetitive, slamming noise. An elderly man had double parked, to place a letter in the mail box, securing its journey by vigorously opening and closing the door. My neighbor thought I was a little overzealous about walking to the post office but we looked at each other and both declared his intensity for safe passage of his letter bordered on madness.
