A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Fourth of July Fireworks

The Pegasus will be on the Hudson for the weekend and fireworks show. Friday specials will return this week and it will be a surprise. Hope to see you at the usual watering hole. I'll tell you what we bought on our trip. Come and celebrate with a fifth on the 4th!

My Take on Fios

I happen to like Fios. I think it's ahead of RCN and Time-Warner in technology. I don't care about the risers in the stairwells. Nobody uses the stairwells except during a blackout, and you won't see them then either. People use the elevator to even go one flight to use the stairmaster in the gym, so that is not a valid concern.

The moldings that are proposed for the hallways are no uglier than the wallpaper and carpets. It's another non-issue to me.

I understand I will need to rewire and hide the cables in my apartment. welcome to the club of having to fix things the building drops on us. I'm okay with more wires and/or moldings even if my family isn't.

The tradeoff could be more than worth it to me. I would like the updates to my home theater and stereo systems. Both of which I've put off in upgrading because our current technology can't handle what I want to upgrade to. We have excellent video capability, which is under-utilized, in our screens. But with the fiber-optics, we can bring the audio up to speed. 1000 megawatts per channel, with little distortion, if any, in midrange, could really make me feel as if we are at some live concerts or in the middle of the action, just as the commercials suggest, for just about the same price.

The computers will download much faster for work and play applications.

I hope our neighbors in Long Island City like my taste in music. I hope the windows will hold out.

When is this expected to be up and running? I, of course, will respect the noise levels of 42 decibals at 35 feet when not during the hours of not before 7AM or after 11PM, according to NYC guidelines for a residence.

I Can't Wait to Move into My New Habitrail!

Thank You Fios!!

Hugs and kisses!

Know what is happening

How long will it take before the Horizon's governing body uses this tool at its whim to selectively rid itself of dissenting opinions such as mine? Then they will tell my owner that I'm just a trouble maker and they should re-elect them. And I'm sure this will happen in all the other troubled buildings as well.

Hot, Hot, Hot!

The weather forecast for next 2 days is for extremely hot temperatures. Remember to drink plenty of fluids and check in on your elderly neighbors and others who might have health risks. Avoid staying out for long periods of time and only run essential errands.

D-Day June 6th, 1944

Today commemorates the 67th anniversary of the allied invasion of Europe marking a major turning point in WWII. Many lost their lives so we could be free. Thank a veteran for this gift.
