A view from the northbound FDR

It’s nicer at night, when you can see the Empire State Building lit up, but it’s nice that there are certain sections of the FDR and other highways in New York City that offer worthwhile views of the city that you can’t get while on foot.

Tire repair again

This is the second time I’ve had a nail in my back right tire in almost the same spot. Makes you wonder. Either the dealership didn’t replace the tire last time like they said and somehow patched over the nail to be cheap, someone is spiking my tire, or I just had really bad luck. Hopefully, it’s the third possibility. Driving in New York City is already expensive enough.

I have tire insurance but it would require me to go to the dealership in Jersey, meaning I’d have to miss work, so I went to a place near where I work in Brooklyn to see if it could be patched first. The flat repair wound up being $20, so I went with it.

I guess 3 flats in 6 years isn’t bad at all though. I talked to an Uber driver once that told me he got two flats in one day. That sucks a lot more.
