It's been a while since I uploaded any pictures, and I figured, why not.
I have no idea if I mentioned this before, but Monty had a rash on one side of his body, and after it got better, he developed the same thing on the other side. Bummer.
Many times in my line of work I complain that people don't read error messages, whether is it
compiler errors, exceptions, dialog boxes in general. Well, here's yet another example.
At the bus terminal, all buses drop people off on the same platform, and there's like 6 stairs
and maybe 3 escalators to go down to the street level.
In this particular day the lights were off, but the results are the same even with lights on:
The cone says "caution, wet floor"., yet people glance at it and keep
walking, as if it were closed off. The next stair after this one is always congested, because
very few people bother to read the warning and use the stair anyway.
Such a simple thing. But it annoyed me enough that one day I waited until no one was around
to take the picture. Just READ THE SIGNS, people.
Last Saturday, kiddo and I went to Yankee Stadium (!) for the second time (!!) for a good
game of football.
It was an entertaining enough game. But we lost, so...sad trombone.
I will eventually write a post, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, about the Rapids season so
far. Let's say I wasn't surprised by the result.
Speaking of future posts, for a while now I've been meaning to write a big rebuttal to the
Rapids subreddit naysayers about the Colorado Rapids stadium and its atmosphere. If instead of
my first live game being at our
humble DSGP, it would
have been a NYCFC game, I don't think I would have gotten tickets again for a while.
(The DC United game at Audi Field was marginally better. Philly Union was even a bit better).
On Sunday I went for a bike ride, the first in a loooong time. It was cold, and slightly
windy, but I needed it.
I found the "MLB Network" building, which also includes NHL studios. Apparently they
are moving these studios soon to Newark. The satellite dishes on the side gave me a bit of
nostalgia for my time working at Starz.
That building had some dishes on the side too, and they were a bit of an anchor for a planned
office move that finally happened a little bit after I left the company. Anything related to
these antennas requires a lot of permits and red tape, it seems. Installing them, moving them,
and apparently decommissioning them too.
From the same bike ride. My humble contribution to the "sidewalks in America are an afterthought" collection.
That's Suzie keeping me company at night while I watch Wind Breakers, on Netflix. A pretty run
of the mill shonen anime. It was well animated and entertaining enough. Serviceable. 7/10.
And it was a necessary rest from the gazillion of romance stuff I've been watching since like,
January. 🤣🤣🤣
I also got back into Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which I abandoned early in season 3.
I love this show, I probably just got tired of it from watching 2-3 episodes a night
a few years back.
And that's all: a bunch of blurry phone pictures. Let's close the post with Punk Pigeon.
I know the photo is really blurry, but no matter how curious the look of the flying
disease carrier is, I am not getting closer just for a pic:
