the big push...

my subway ride was its usual horrid event. i smushed my way on at bedford, then the announcer said the train would be bypassing union square (my stop) and 6th avenue. instead of heading all the way to 8th avenue and getting on the eastbound L, i decided to get off at 3rd. it's raining today in the big rotten apple but i had my trusty umbrella. well, moments after exiting the subway on 3rd, three of the support beams(?) popped and i had to throw the umbrella in the nearest garbage can. i walked the remaining four blocks to work in the drizzling rain.

all in all the usual nightmare. from the crowd standpoint, i still have never seen anything as bad as the subways in japan.
