Curb Cuts


This is the curb cut at the end of the street of my apartment building. When I saw this while starting out on errands I had no idea that this would be the best and biggest curb cut I would see for the next 3 1/2 miles


The other direction was not quite as nice but not nearly as bad as what I would see later.

Gotta Do What You Gotta Do


During a blizzard there are still things you have to do



You still have to walk the dog (or clean up the mess!)


You still have to walk your baby down the middle of a snow covered street (or not)


And you have to order food to be delivered by some poor guy on a bike.

That's the first half of the snowfall!
 
More to come!

Mail Chute


This is one of the US Postal Service mail chutes in an older building. You drop your mail in the chute and it magically gets where it's going. Some of the older buildings used to be connected to post offices. The pneumatic tubes would blow the mail all the way to the  post office through a system of tubes in the more populated areas.

I suspect the mail in this building ends up in a big container in the basement and is picked up from there.

Happy New Year!
 
It's a brand new year...a brand new blank slate!
