NYC seems like a difficult place to have a car. When I lived there I didn't own one. Here in Chicago the parking rules are a little less Byzantine - none of that "alternate side" stuff. Just street cleaning & snow removal.

Back to the parking cops: TDK60, yes, they are unarmed. Their attitude really seems to be that they don't *want* to give out tickets -- they know it's a racket -- but they will if you are parked on the wrong side of the street during ASP rules. But unlike most cops, they actually know the law and the differences among parking, standing, and stopping. So if someone is sitting in the driver's seat, that car is standing, not parking, and so not ticketable. So it becomes like a mini-block-party these days, with everyone out to wait until they see the cop and then hop in their cars.

Though my Bangladeshi neighbor was telling me he once got a ticket while sitting in his car even though no one else did. He took a picture and called the 311 about it, and that parking cop has never come back to the block.

So wait, have we been experiencing German Irish music? As played at Die Blarney Stone Pub [I'm sure I have the article wrong]. I mean, especially that Wacholder piece...

glad we both made it through that, Bas :) -- this was the second time i've had to repair the heater (the cord just wore out after several years. the thing is old as mud)

Hey Jeff, funny you should say that. This (Und Nichts Nachher) was actually recorded at the Irish pub around the corner from me.

A graduating engineering student: "Four years ago, I couldn't even spell "engineer". Today, I are one!"

the joke is that many engineering students don't have strong literary skills (and/or at least not English literary skills.) Was told to me by my friend's mother, on a rafting/camping trip, with a bunch of engineers

spodi, one kid I graduated HS with went to Rice to study engineering. He said he was going to and then actually DID go into class late in his last year wearing a striped hat to say that while all this math they were studying was interesting, he really wanted to know when they were going to start driving trains!
