I didn't bring the umbrella from the car in jersey bc I thought the sun was out now, etc. On my way from Port Authority home in the rain, this wonderful young woman also walking north on ninth offered to share her umbrella, seeing me using my face shield to protect my head.

Fireworks, Manhattan. This time from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (Local 3). At Pier 76 (34th) Hudson Yards, I'm surprised I can hear all the details.

The SWEETEST #fag EVER chatted me up on the #express #train #home #yesterday from #work. He complimented my ring, then wanted to know what the other #rings were (Tanzanite), then he showed me his rings and we decided we both like #geniune #gemstones, not glass. I complimented his #necklace and moved to the front of the train with a smile, from car to #car.

Subway conductor scolded us after fourteenth street. "If you don't know what train is coming to that platform, then step away from the train. You have to know what train you want before you come down into the subway." LOL yes daddy

New Yorkers are so sweet. #ILNY I went back to Planet Taco (the biggest pendant lamp is Saturn) and explained that last time, I ordered a shrimp taco ("Japan" w habanera sauce) but when I got home, I got some salty steak taco instead. I asked for a Japan but for reals and she wouldn't let me pay! She said "No. I believe you. This one's on us."

The guy about to clean the subway car told us all getting off at World Trade to "Have a great day" as he was waiting to get on, so now I guess I have to...

The other day a little boy said Hi on the escalator at Target and then I was startled by a rat on the sidewalk. When tourists say I could never live here they don't know what they're missin'.

It happened again! Posted this while waiting for my #burrito; walking home, this Hispanic woman's walking alongside, then ahead of me, then turns around to check me out again (I figured cuz I was wearing a skirt & T-shirt). A bit later, she looks back again, slows down, walks next to me again, but looking at my ear so I say "Strawberry" & she smiles, says "Nice, #Papi, nice..." & pulls ahead again.

Wow, someone's having Indian food tonight - on maybe the second floor -- me, leftover onion rings.
