people on the platform
did i tell you this?
wednesday morning
after
snowmageddon
dumped
11 inches on nyc
i went to work
after my last experience
at
the 79th street subway station
i was leery
but
far better equipped
with
la canadienne's 'chance'
the sidewalks
were
mostly
shoveled
the streets
were plowed
but
there was still a lot of snow to walk through
i made it to 79th street
in time
to see
people exiting
which means
i just missed the train
i walked down
the
in far better condition than last time
stairs
to see the next train
was
due
in
17 minutes
17 minutes
on
a
cold
unheated
subway platform
in
9 degree temps
no
i dont think so
i turned
up
the stairs
i went
down
broadway
i walked
to
72nd street
where
i could get an express or a local
not signed
the platform
was
crowded
the sign
said
an express
was
due
in
3 minutes
yes!
its so funny
to me
that
everyone
waiting
stands
facing the direction the train will arrive from
as if
they can will it to arrive sooner
of course
there are many who just stay focused on their mobiles
amazingly
the train that arrived
was not at all crowded
everyone waiting
was able to board
without
a shoehorn push
the streets down
at the office
were fairly clear/clean
the sun came out
i doubt it warmed the air much
but
i spent the day comfortably at my desk
working
left early for the trip home
which was uneventful
as it should be
i hope
if your area
was hit by the snowpocalyse
you are
safe and warm
