Greetings from . . . Home!
Two hours of my life i will never get back.
You would think after35 years of living here I would know to stay home on Sundays: there are parades, blocked streets, nightmare traffic, subway repairs, and detours.
Today, there is an African American parade and a march for the environment. The entire Upper West Side is screwed up. As soon as I realized Columbus Avenue was closed off and all downtown traffic on a congested Seventh Avenue, I should have come home. I got to 50th and Seventh Avenue on the 104, waited forever for a M20 bus that never arrived and decided that I should head back uptown. And the uptown subways are jammed because of all the people going to the environment march. I learned later from a No 7 bus driver that Sixth Avenue was closed off, so I might have waited forever for a bus back uptown from Toyland.
This is one of those shitty days where I truly detest this damned city. Color me very frustrated.
