We completed our move to New York yesterday with a sixteen and half hour drive. Yey. The drive was long, but now, we're mostly settled in. New York in an amazing place. We'll have our car for a few days until we move it to Westchester, and, the parkign experience has been somthing else. Most streets, including 24th street, has alternate parking. The street cleaners and sanitation need to come thru. This means that you can't park on the street from 8:30-10:00 (on alternating sides daily). At precisely 8:25 people start hanging around their cars, hoping they'll find something on the other side that they can dash there before the bell tolls and the street cleaner shows up. When the gigantic brush mobile does make an appearance, all of the drivers miraculously move out of the way. It is by far the most coordinated driving I've seen outside a car commercial. It's syncrized, like swimming, but not as symmetrical. The drivers only move for a short time, enough so the street cleaner can go by, then, they back up and get back to the space they were a moment ago.

Tomorrow is orientation. I'm excited to get things under way. Here's an ITP link for ya: Ze Frank.
