re: public transit

For those of you that don't have your GPS readers tracking my every move, I should tell you that I am in New York City for the week.

One of the first things I did upon arriving was to meet up with a few new yorkers in Brooklyn Heights at the New York Transit Museum. In all my New York travels I had never even heard of this place, and it was so cool. It is a museum all about the history of the subway, and better yet, it is located inside a historic 1936 subway station with old historic faregates and trains and all sorts of other neat things to poke and sit on.




Here is the thing - I don't even hardly want to blog about the museum because brigham took such better photos than I did and will probably have much more interesting things to say about the experience once he gets around to blogging about it.

But there are a few pictures that he doesn't have that I feel pretty okay sharing. I don't know if it is the ridiculous NYC heat or if Brigham always acts this way when there is a pole in the room, but the historic train cars got a bit of a show.



(And then he walked away as if he were all confused about what had just happened.)

Not to be upstaged, Collin did a little transit gymnastics himself.



Please never let anyone tell you that public transit is not a fun and sexy time.

I am only sad that you didn't not show us some of your transit moves-- though taking sneaky pix of people on public transit may well be one of your best.

YES! I loved them! So much! Remember the guy who tried to teach us about the Garden of Eden the last time we were on public transit together? He was awesome. I wish I was there with you!

The moving picture of Brigham has me transfixed.

EVERYONE was in NY that week. Well, everyone but you, Paul.

Marsha. I didn't mean to keep this from you. You pretty much own the internet and I just figured that you knew.
