Something was buggy with the comments here yesterday, both Gene and csp told me they left comments, but I never got them. And last night I tried commenting back and it wouldn’t take my comment. It looked like it took it, but it didn’t show up, I realized right away because my comments aren’t moderated. Next to the red type where it says, “Post A New Comment” it said: (Unable to Post Comment.) I talked to Squarespace about this and it’s something that’s never happened. One of their support staff says if it does happen to try clearing out your cache. When it happened to me, I quit and restarted my browser and then my comment went through. I apologize if your comment was lost yesterday and hopefully it was just a bug that’s worked itself out.
Last night I was going to go and wander around Columbus Circle but it was pouring rain, so I went home and wrote my Johnnie Johnson story. Tonight it’s nice out, so it’s off to Columbus Circle we go!
Here we are at Penn Station, I think you know what's coming next...
The dreaded escalator ride. At first allis well, no one's pushing or shoving, but then...
This big fat slob has to ruin it all. He was pushing and shoving everyone out of the way. I was standing as far to the right as you can and still got pushed. And the stairway two inches away was almost empty. Asshole!
The good news is that as soon as I get to my platform the train is pulling up. I love it when that happens!
And here we are, the stairway to Columbus Circle.
A woman texting outside...what's everyone texting about? I don't do it.
Columbus Circle park is right across the street here.
I think the no smoking rule in the parks is ridiculous. They charge 13 bucks a pack for cigarettes here and then you can't smoke them anywhere.
A shot of the perimeter of the park.
Here's a shitty shot of the statue in the middle of the park. I really need to learn how to work this camera one of these days.
Colorful lit-up fountains spray around the entire circle of the park.
It's really pretty and creates a nice mist when you're standing close by.
But this nimrod chooses to ignore the surroundings and is texting wth someone instead.
More texting from this woman.
And yet another person hypnotized by their texting device.
What the fuck is everyone texting about? Is there something going on i don't know about? Because I just want to everyone to shut the fuck up.
But I guess that's not going to happen.
SHUT UP!
This guy has the right idea. Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
