NYC Is Another World

Author: siggy

NYC is another world.  I was there briefly–forty-eight hours.  So many people.  All, seemingly, in a rush.  Surrounded by thousands of people.  I took the subway to get around.  It is a world I am not in too often any more.  I was glad to get back home surrounded by trees and quiet.  My dogs gave me a terrific greeting jumping all over me when I entered my house.  I left my wife for my trip.  It is difficult for us to go away with our menagerie–all four dogs and seven cats.  Maybe, once a year my wife and I go away usually to the NJ shore.  I was glad to get home.  To peace and quiet although I was glad to see part of my family in New York if only briefly.  NY city is just another world.

The four way stop in Newport always amazes me.  Everyone takes their turn to cross the intersection.  Very polite like.  I never forgot the time I was in New York and another car wanted to merge into my lane.  I had the right of way.  The car did not care he wanted in despite that and was willing to drive me off the road, which he almost did.  I swerved and missed him by inches.  He was determined to get into my lane ahead of me.  I always think of that four way stop for an example how courteous most Perry County drivers are.  And it is not like that in some other states.  Particular (???) New York City.
