Cold Ferry/Come on Summer

After a meeting downtown I decided to hop on the Staten Island Ferry. Much to my chagrin the #1 train hasn't gone down to lower Manhattan since Hurricane Sandy flooded everything so the final stop was at Rector Street. This normally wouldn't be a long walk, but today, the wind was blowing 40 mph and the wind chill was in the low 20s. Seconds before succumbing to hypothermia, I made it onto the ferry. Once on board, stepping out on the blustery (and empty) deck I damn near froze to death all over again. But, it was a lovely ride and a beautiful sunset. Worth risking my life for.

Summer, I miss it...



...Wait, maybe cold weather isn't so bad.
