I woke up today to the sound of police car sirens. There is probably chaos outside right now.
Just after midnight, the transport workers had declared a strike - and what that simply means is that there will be no subways or buses in the city operational at the moment. They are asking for a contract, an increase in annual raise, and earlier pension. This strike alone would cost the city (and the country) hundreds of millions of dollars. People from the other boroughs are literally walking to work.
Anyway, leave the details to the Times. This will just mean I have to walk to 23rd St. from my apartment for my Final. (I am still lucky to live in the city, and thank goodness for the iPod) I have to stop blogging and get my ass out there early. This may be the only chance I could explore New York on foot - without me intending to.
I hope this comes to an end really soon. It's the week before Christmas - and 22F outside! Give commuters a break.
