Hi, FReepers — I hope you like my new piece in The New York Times! I would love it if you would leave comments on the article’s NYT page.

Enjoy!

A bit off topic, but I noticed this:
For the first time ever, last week, I heard "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a test of the emergency broadcast system" coming from the PA system in a NYC subway station. Twice, in fact.

I read it. Very nice. I understand there are many that live in abandoned subways. Working in NYC for 25 years one just gets used to the homeless and mentally disturbed.
But i’ll never forget being on the 1 train and the doors not opening at the stop. I got frantic and then what I thought was a terribly mentally disturbed filthy miscreant told me with a steady voice and perfect diction that only the fist five car doors open. I thought she had lost touch with all reality decades earlier. But she sounded as sane and stable as any person I ever knew. That event stayed with me.

I have occasionally gone out to Georges Island in Boston Harbor, where there is a civil war era fort that has a great big, underground brick lined magazine with a single door to enter.

I have taken my saxophone out there and played inside it...it feels like you are inside the music!

Congratulations. Nice little story.

I have yet to have the NYT Post any Comment I have made when responding to one of the Leftist Tirades.

It appears their Moderators don’t have any use for my “opposition” viewpoints. I’m sure they would banish me to the Subway if they could.
