Battlefield 6 corner camping on Breakthrough
I managed to accomplish more with this than I expected. Normally I would just run to the next sector and get mowed down on the way there. Fun game. It has some serious flaws that I hope get worked out.
Government shutdown and the MWR – Fort Hamilton
With the government shutdown stretching into its third week, government employees on a bi-weekly pay schedule received their last paycheck this past Thursday. It was an abbreviated paycheck as well, for only 56 hours instead of a regular 80 hours, because 24 hours of the pay period were in the new fiscal year. Active duty…
Short update
I haven’t really posted much or regularly for quite a while and I think it’s not so much for lack of interest, but lack of time and that spark of creativity. Working full time, long commutes, and trying to do errands and fulfill other responsibilities on the weekends is time consuming and draining and it…
A few thoughts on the new season of Andor
It was intresting to me that Disney released three episodes up front, but I think it might have been symbolic of the three storylines that were being told, and it seemed like Cassian’s storyline was unnecessarly drawn out to fit into the 3×3 structure they created. His whole ‘adventure’ on the planet was sort of…
The new toilet paper
2020 was toilet paper; now it’s the same again but with eggs. Right before the prices shot up, I bought a dozen free range organic eggs for $8 on sale, I think at H-Mart in Little Ferry, NJ. A week ago, I went to the commissary on Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and all they had…
Actual experience with NYC’s congestion relief zone tolls, a pro and a major con
If anyone is wondering how it’s going now that it’s implemented, I thought I’d leave a few thoughts here. I drive to work daily. I live in the central Bronx and work in south Brooklyn by the Verrazzano Bridge. My commute takes me down the Westside Highway into the HLC Tunnel or down the FDR…
Why I voted for Trump
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a political ad this uplifting before. Or that I’ve ever seen an uplifting political ad. This ad makes you feel good. It promotes the idea of leaving behind the fringe lunacy of online political discourse and coming back to a middle ground that advocates for something better, something normal,…
A view of the Verrazzano Bridge and Staten Island at sunset
This is a really nice spot to sit and relax on Fort Hamilton, despite the cars going by on the highway below. There’s fresh air and you can actually smell trees, the grass, and the soil. That alone is a nice change from most of New York. If I lived anywhere nearby, I’d spend more…
Enjoying the sun and warmth while it’s still here
Hopefully this isn’t the last warm weekend we’ll see, but everyone was out enjoying the sun like it was. It was pretty warm if you stayed out of the shade. It was a great day for walking, cycling, and seeing the sites. We took a ride around the park, avoiding the top bit of the…
