THAT LITTLE STRING OF ROW HOUSES NEXT TO THE MIDTOWN TUNNEL RAMP

For decades I've passed these and wondered what they were doing there and how you could get to them. They sit all by themselves in the middle of highway ramps and metal buildings. They always looked kind of surreal to me. So last night I decided to hunt them down, and by god damn I did. It took a while and several dead ends and being chased off by a dog and a security guard. But as soon as I found them, I had to leave, because I felt a poop coming on and it was a half hour's walk home. I made it in twenty minutes. I looked like a freakin power walker.

Just be glad you made it home and didn't have to go in a bus station.

This post actually made me guffaw. Do you have any idea how inconvenient guffawing IS in a room full of quiet students? Shame on you!
