  1. Okay, now it's three days in a row. Someone driving the wrong way on the
    one way entrance road to pier 94 on the Hudson River in Manhattan. That
    one I wouldn't ordinarily mind, except that the northern portion of that
    entrance road is used by bicyclists (e.g. yours truly) riding in the
    correct direction to access the Hudson River Greenway.

    Is civilization crumbling?

    Manhattan hasn't been civilized for a long time. But it is probably
    still crumbling 😉

    Probably but have you checked to see if the "Wrong Way- Do Not Enter"
    sign is still there? <g>

    Nope, no there's no sign right at that spot. But it's supposed to be a
    high security point by design -- entrance to the piers and all that, post-
    9/11 etc. It's very common to see soldiers, police, or both with automatic
    weapons directing traffic, just not at that exact moment. Driver must have
    slipped in through the design flaw!

    Don't believe everything you hear about "post 9/11 high security". If
    it was *truly* high security those police and soldiers would be
    stopping and identifying everyone that was accessing the area. Even
    cyclists heading for a bike path. <g>

  8. I ride in City traffic as if no one can see me but they're out to hit me
    anyway. What really gets me is the people talking on their cell phones and
    acting as if they'd rather kill you then pay attention to their driving.

    Don't get me started on cell phones. It's illegal here, but I never see
    it enforced. I see cops driving with cell phones. I wish they would just
    stop. I wish pedestrians would stop being on cell phones while they're
    crossing against a light. I especially wish people would stop talking on
    cell phones while they're having sex. Just stop, that's enough talking
    already.

    Maybe you should re-examine your own technique and find a way to make them
    stop.
