Houdy all, folks!
yup, Manhatan has filled my vision in the past hours. I most impressed with the movie-type of smoke coming of the roads. OK, OK, the motion pictures overreact a bit, but it´s not a Batman´s director invention... NY is still a bit of a new era / industrial age town. Steam power, cast iron, old yellow cabs, etc ;)
And it does really never sleep. I actually found more people hanging around in Times Square at advanced night hours than during the day.
Another cool thing is the inmates working out as the prison gangs we see on TV. Damn, that´s scary from the other side of the bars, imagine being one of them!!!
I meet a middle age woman on a bus tour... knowing I was in my way to Utah she told me about this one time she was driving around in the desert with some friends when they saw an energy ball building up from the ground and speeding across the car path. As car and ball crossed they felt the temperature drop and cold spears penetrate their chests. Her friend´s spear crossed her heart... she died one month later!
On the NY - Slat Lake flight I meet some dudes all post masters in small US towns. One of these US Postal Service local bosses was from Hanksville, the closet town to, errr..., Mars! They interviwed me and want to have an article in the USPS journal.
On to Mars...
