there should be a law re: car alarms. i.e. if it goes off for a long time, the people living around it who are trying to slep can throw rocks at it until it stops.
additionally, if your car is stuck in the snow and you must get it out, which of course entails that awful revving on snow/ice sound, please don't do it at 2 in the morning. beyond that fact that it really pisses off the neighbors, it's easier to do during daylight hours when the snow's softer.
i look like i've been punched in the face - eyes are swollen almost shut. apparently watching movies where a spouse is dying and the other spouse is miserable makes me cry. and in a nod to jet-lag, as i was sobbing on avraham, he began to cry. not because of the movie, mind you. because i was sobbing. hence going to sleep at 9:30 - sleep patterns have now hit a trifecta.
dreading getting on the subway. my commute's risen to an hour and a half thanks to the overflow from the A/C line. and it's not faster on the express in the morning. i suggest that the MTA run the 1 train express from 168th to 96th and leave the 9 train to run local. if they need more trains, they can throw the A and C trains that aren't being used into service on the 1/9 line.
side point to the fire - officials believe the fire was started by a homeless person. as you may know, the city has been cutting funding to homeless shelters and closing many of them. the homeless population has taken up residence in the subway system, the only place they have a chance of not freezing to death. this very same city that closed the shelters to cut costs now must find a few billion to re-build the MTA. wouldn't it have been cheaper (forget more humane, they obviously don't care) to simpy provide shelter for the homeless?
