Phase 1 and Phase 2 hopefully get a lot of regional economic activity going so many more people can work. Every bit helps. New Yorkers pride themselves on hard work. Just need the opportunity.
That's awesome Buddy. Thanks for doing that and walking the talk.Do Unto the Least of These? There’s a Wait List for That.
How one New York City food ministry is thriving, even behind masks.
Just realized we were in Christianity Today this week. Cool.

Enjoy!Night and day difference here in Boise. We went shopping when we got here at 10pm so it was very empty. Barely anyone in masks but people seemed to follow the one way directions in the aisles. Stocked up for the week at least. We went for a walk yesterday along the Greenbelt, which is a path on both sides of the river with parks along much of it. Easy to keep our distance. We saw 2 people with masks. We didnt wear them but we didnt at home either when walking outside, always either walking in the street or crossing the street on the rare occasion someone was coming towards us.
Except for a daily walk we will stay in until probably Friday. On that day, Idaho should be going into Phase 3 which will no longer require people to self isolate when entering the state. We'll probably only eat at places that have outside seating but there are plenty of them.
We had a layover in Dallas and got to sit and have some BBQ and beer at the airport. Minimal prevention there but decent separation. We went from near 100% mask wearers in LaGuardia to maybe 25% in DFW. It was late at Boise airport so no one really around.
I know we are being a little less cautious than in NY but it's still a much needed break to feel a sense of normalcy for a change. 3 weeks here, 2 weeks back then the whole month of July back in Boise.

I just saw a drunk fall off the curb, he was sporting fresh looking Brian Bosworth #55 Seahawks jersey. So, not much change here.Night and day difference here in Boise.

Jersey shore reunion summer tour?Staten island hospital by me now has ZERO COVID patients. Wtf are we waiting for?
ICU at 30% now. Cuomo seemed to be moving the goalposts a bit, saying he wants see the numbers in the minority neighborhoods go down. He also has the number of tracers to fall back on to delay opening further. Not sure where we can find updated stats on the progress of that.https://forward.ny.gov/regional-monitoring-dashboard
NYC up to 29% bed capacity, both overall and in the ICU. Seems like it's about time. Believe Long Island previously qualified but it has had it's death increase recently. I presume they're not going to shut things down if a few of these metrics move back to red but suppose that could delay the next steps.

I mean phase 1 isn't likely to have a massive impact anyways. Can't imagine there are a lot of manufacturing, forestry, fishing or agriculture in the city. Retail to curbside pick-up. I'd rather they just go ahead and do it now and adapt for phase 2. If phase 2 gets delayed so be it, but would be nice to see some movement forward.jamny said:ICU at 30% now.

Exactly. There went be much different in Phase 1 so why not give a little after what everyone has been through.I mean phase 1 isn't likely to have a massive impact anyways.

Because he was pretty successful here...would need to look up the stats and achievements, but it was pretty well derided when he was essentially forced out.I don't get this one. Why would London want to use the NYCTA as a model and hire its former president? https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/ny-subway-boss-named-head-london-transit-system-70903078?cid=clicksource_4380645_2_heads_hero_live_headlines_hed
L train revised project finished three months early & they never had to shut it down completely. They used some European method / equipment the MTA hadn’t tried before. Closed it down overnight & ran a single track on weekends. Still better than their first two plans (2 year shutdown & 18 month shutdown, using shuttle buses, et al.)Because he was pretty successful here...would need to look up the stats and achievements, but it was pretty well derided when he was essentially forced out.
Byford is very well regarded within the public transportation circle. He only joined MTA in late 2017 so was effectively there for a little over 2 years. I had high hopes for him and I'd say his tenure was mixed. I thought he'd truly change things but some things aren't easy to change. But seems silly to hold Byford accountable for all the problems pre-2018.I don't get this one.

I used to live at Court and Schermerhorn. Can't imagine living there now. We're also considering ditching the city and after being here for 11 years it's pretty strange to imagine living anywhere else but we're struggling to find reasons to stay.I went to the beach today and watched a spaceship send some astronauts to the International Space Station. Then my kids body surfed on an empty beach as my wife and I enjoyed a few beers and watched them have a blast. They finished the day off collecting shells.
My NYC neighbor sent me videos of protesting with 100s maybe 1000s of people destroying Court St, right in front of my apartment.
We’ve concluded our NYC days are over. Have a friend subletting starting next month. It’s sad, my wife has never lived outside of NYC, I’ve lived in the same apartment for 15 years. If we do have to return to the tristate, it’ll be in the suburbs.
Here in the burbs we are seeing FLOODs of folks leaving NYC. normally we have a lot but now its insane.I used to live at Court and Schermerhorn. Can't imagine living there now.

Why not bail for HS?My daughter goes to university fall 2026. I’m out after she leaves home.
5 years of experience preprofessional ballet. She’s en pointe now and is thinking about making it her livelihood. Whip smart & a great student but if she wants to pursue performing arts we won’t try to persuade her to go to college instead.Why not bail for HS?
I forget...is she at ballet tech for school, or studying extracurricular? I used to have a bunch of connections with folk at city ballet, from people in the corps to principles. One of them went on to start a dance program at Yale...if you want/need connections (that at this point in her studies, I'm sure you already have)5 years of experience preprofessional ballet.

She’s only 11, plenty of time to sort it out.
She’s in a troupe that is a feeder for NYCB. Next step is to move from preprofessional to Youth Ballet. In 3-4 years we’ll be at a decision point (picking a college or starting professional auditions.)I forget...is she at ballet tech for school, or studying extracurricular?

I forget the details, but my friend that is at Yale now came up through through their school (school of American ballet?) And my have been coming in from PA for it until she officially joined the company. I understand your daughter's set up now, but my point is- living in the city isnt a requirement for this path...if that's all that's holding you here.She’s in a troupe that is a feeder for NYCB.

I’m aware of the options.And FYI...city ballet offered a program at the neighboring Fordham campus for dancers to get a college degree. I'm sure ABT has something similar.
No. It’s not, by any means. I love my volunteer life and my community of faith is a huge part of our life.HS move would be rough. I was thinking move before HS would be easier.
You've obviously thought this through- I was just hearing a tone of being done with the city, and this being the only thing keeping you here.
A group just tried breaking int Queens Center Mall, not far from my house. Cops managed to break it up
And curfew tonight in NYC at 11pm.
