well
maybe
 'they'
 read my blog
 or 
maybe
 'someone'
 noticed
 the inordinate number of photos
 i have taken
 of this mess

 i doubt it

  but
 last week
 this 
sign 
appeared



 in typical
 new yorkese
 it tells you 
nothing
but
 it does so in 
a
nice
clean
 type face
in
 the official new york colors
seriously
new york's colors are blue and orange
i think 
they threw in
 the green and black
 just to balance it out

do you 
remember
 this 
sign?


it made
 its appearance
 months into the work
 which
 has
 since
 mid-may
 been 
complete


however
 this
repaired
replaced
now
 pristine 
escaltor 
remains 
non-operational

i suspect
 the inspectors
 have been too busy elsewhere
 to come by
 and
 approve the work

  i will say this 
i owe the city
 a thank you
for
 improving 
my cardio vascular stamina

 there are 36 steps
 from the lower level
 to the street

 i count them every morning as i climb them 
so
thanks!
