102 Minutes

[jbbnyc]

I just read this book and it was the most emotional difficult book I have ever read. It is an account of the 102 minutes inside the Twin Towers from people who survived and who did not survive. I am glad I read the book but it brought back all the terror and fear of that day and after.

It's cooled off in the city!

After the start of a very HOT, HOT

NYC is expensive, isn't it?

The Hamptons Jitney sounds very Sex and the City!!

That's right Laura, the Hampton Jitney was on Sex and the City-I think their second season-when they had the Hampton house and Carrie runs into Mr. Big with Natasha.

And NYC is expensive. It's always amazes me how much it is too rent a car. But then again the rental companies know how expennsive it is to actually own a car so they can basically charge and arm and a leg, because people will pay if they need a car.

Have you heard about those services they are running in cities like Seattle where you can borrow a car for an hour to run errands and then return it to designated spots in the city? I think the idea is to reduce the need to own cars which would be better for the environment. I can't say I'd ever want to drive in NYC but I could see that would make sense if you lived somewhere where a car would be useful for errands but not an everyday necessity.

I actually have heard about that-I think it's called zipcar. Jason and I are going to be looking into it. Although Jason seems to be obsessed with us having our own car. I humor him, but truthfully I don't think it will happen until we at least have a baby. And even then I'm not sure if we would get a car. But zipcar is definitely something I need to research further.
