NYC...

So I just finished taking my clothes out of the dryer, and I hear an old ladies voice:

Old woman: Is the dyer still hot?
Nobu: Yea... I guess I just took my clothes out of the dryer

Old woman: That's not what I asked. Is the dryer still hot?
Nobu: I guess... since I just used it.

Crazy Lady: Don't you speak ENGLISH?
Nobu (not wanting to deal with her anymore): NOPE!

Crazy Lady: What's the matter with you?! WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY. CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH?? GET OUT OF HERE.
Nobu: Okay!

Crazy Lady keeps muttering to herself in disgust

Scene.

bike ride vs. subway/walk to work

Biking to work

Pros:
• Some exercise
• Get to work faster (work at 11th and
• Save about 5 bucks a day (rt subway if without monthly pass)
• Enjoy the scenery

Cons:
• Biking in the dark, hard to see
• Sweaty coming to work.
• Can't wear "nicer stuff" because of reason above
• Get weird helmet pattern on my head
• Dodge cars/taxis in the dark
• Cobblestone streets - impossible to ride
• Getting colder. Especially by the water
• Rain sucks

Verdict:
Inconclusive.
