As New Yorkers, we pretend crazy shit that happens around us all the time isn’t happening. It is a survival mechanism.
Example: This morning I took the bus. I take the bus pretty often because I don’t go far, as a general rule, from my apt and my travels rarely warrant a subway ride. My travels don’t really warrant a bus ride, but it’s cold. None the less, I was on the bus. (more…)
