And I am back -- having successfully avoided, by the way, any bad traffic whatsoever in either direction. The Upper West Side, at least as far south as 79th Street, was affected imperceptibly, if at all, by the goings on in Midtown. I have no doubt it would have turned into a total hell if I'd tried going anywhere in that direction, but getting in and out of town as far as DR Elmore's place was effortless.
This morning there was something on the highway betwixt here and there that caused a ten-minute delay. But that's all.
As for now, ladies and gentlemen ..... it's Miller time.
