Hey Bragger Vance, should I use an 8 or 9 iron on this shot?

Day 3

Wake up to find out that the strike is over. All workers are to report for their next work shift. Busses might be running tonight and trains should be back up and running tomorrow morning! Nice to see that they are going to give people credit for three days on their unlimited metro cards. As a monthly card holder I appreciate that.

I ended up taking today off from work to help my wife with some stuff around the house. Missing out on another commute through traffic was a bonus. I definitely prefer watching the news about the strike instead of being part of it.

As I was heading to GCS, I saw a couple buses running.  But cabbies were still raping their passangers w/ $10 - $15 per person even if you were all going to the same place.  But after the 3 mile walk downtown and a PHAT steak @ the Old Homestead there was no way in hell I was walking back up town.

The overall traffic situation was ugly.  Whether on foot or in a car.  Mass traffic any time you were running north or south.  Metro north was also packed to the gills.  Stood all the way home from GCS.

But man was that steak good... wish I was eating it right now!

Old Homestead is definitely worth the walk.

Fastest commute ever to work for me today.
