Subway Advert
“Cheap Flights make it easier to say ‘Phuket, let’s travel.
More The Bus
And the bus drivers: I have heard Denzel Washington, James Earl Jones, Oprah announcing the next stops. And I have seen the doubles for Denzel, Whitney, and Roseanne Barr driving the busses. These persons are courteous, sane, competent and now and then especially humorous. One recent evening, I was dressed upper-west-side to attend a YCA …
The Bird

Ask
So I did. I asked a subway rider who sleeps, how he knows when to awake. Oops, he said, if I am really heavily asleep, then I wake up 2 or 3 stops past mine, get off and take the train back. If I am lightly sleeping, I awake at my own stop, just as …
