New York Moving

During my visit to NYC last weekend, I (and a bunch of his friends) helped Wyeth move two vanloads of his stuff from Gowanus to Greenpoint. After the move was finished, we caught our breath up on the roof. Ahzz.

I just returned from a long weekend in NYC with friends, concluding with a tour of an abandoned subway tunnel from the 1840s. The tour was organized by the Brooklyn Historic Railway Association.

We entered the tunnel from the middle of the street.

The Rolls

More fun courtesy of Isaac & Jenny and the Manhattan Classic Car Club: the 1989 Rolls Royce Corniche II. You sit incredibly high off the ground, surrounded by all kinds of knobs and analog dials, including an analog temperature gauge. In the passenger seat, there was a champagne flute chiller by my right knee. And it's a convertible. As we cruised around Brooklyn with the windows down, no one asked us for some Grey Poupon, but we got lots of stares and one woman approached us at a light and said, "Is that a Rolls? Niiiice." I thought riding around in this kind of car would provoke a class war, but people seemed pleased just to see the Rolls roll by.
