My take on the NYC Transit Strike. This photo was taken this morning on my normal commute into work. This "F" train is normally completely packed with people. Standing room only, sometimes you even have to wait for a train or two just to get a spot. But today empty. All trains were running normal. I got a seat the whole ride. Actually everyone got a seat! Each person that walked on the train had a big joy filled smile on their faces. My only explanation? The media scared everyone to stay home or take alternate ways to work. Their 5 minute panic strikin updates on the impending strike started about 10pm last night and are still going on, well past the midnight deadline to strike. So to everyone who stayed home, thank you! It made my ride to work a pleasure.

Taken at the 2005 New York City Marathon. Before the Mazor Marathon Party we all went down to Fourth Avenue to watch the wheelchair and lead runners go by. The Williamsburg savings bank building (in the photo) can be seen for miles as the marathoners run up 4th avenue. It caught my eye in the early morning haze. If anyone knows that guy on the left, see if his photo of me turned out.
