'Morning folks. Long wasted day in Joisy yesterday. Topped off by the cancellation of my return flight. So we punted, and I had to set foot in the one place is the USA I vowed never to set foot.
That's right, Nuevo Yawk City. Home of those other picante sauces (Get a Rope!). So, I can now say I've seen the Brooklyn Bridge (Pretty cool, especially with two HUGE flags on the towers), The Umpire State building (Yer OUT!) and the Walter P. Whatshisname Building.
Somewhere in Brooklyn or so, we saw hundreds of folks dressed in black with funny black hats, and curled sideburns dangling below their chins. To steal a quote, "I thought they only did that s@%t in the movies".
Said stolen quote coming from on of my Airman during my USAF tenure. This Airman was a New York native referring to the sea of Cowboy Hats seen the first time he set foot in a bar in Texas. Heh heh heh
Speaking of Joisy, we had to stop and ask for directions, Mapquest having failed us. We stopped FOUR times. The fourth time being a bank, since the folks at gas stations being unable to communicate in Engrish. How far off target were we you ask? Three friggin miles! A call to the folks at the meeting place was no help either. ME: we're at CR-514 and Anteres in Woodbridge. THEM: I don't live here, I can't help. Oy vey.
Morning, PE.
Happy to hear you got back in one piece to Texas.
From your Nuevo Yawk FRiend.
I hope you didn't tell them you were from Texas. As I recall they have laws against Texans roaming around unsupervised there.
Geez e pete, sounds like a mess. You'll be mighty glad to get back home!
