"she thinks nothing of asphyxiating me with smoke particles from incense"
Laugh of the day - thanks Xeno.
Last time I was in NYC was many a year ago on my way to the Catskills,
specifically to Livingston Manor to get my first bloc of the siddhis under the
auspices of Reed Martin and TM Siddhi Administrators Big Bopper Bevan and John
Cowhig.
While at Port Authority waiting for my bus, I was accosted by a crazy old Irish
Catholic bag lady who gave me shit and told me I was going to hell for not
going to church. She assumed that my red hair and pale skin meant I was Irish.
I also witnessed a helluva fight between a big fat woman and one of the men in
charge of one of the bus lines. They didn't throw any punches but god almighty
they sure did cuss each other out. I had not traveled much outside of South
Carolina at that point in my life, and I had never heard anybody cussing each
other like that in public.
I also stepped between an old homeless guy and a young girl, teenager, he was
harassing. Port Authority cop stepped in too, right after I did.
Interesting time and little did I realize in my TM brain addled mode that I was
about to spend two weeks rubbing elbows with some people at LM who were a whole
lot crazier than anybody I saw in Port Authority. Some of those TM'ers had
actually sold their homes to get enough money to do the siddhis all the way
through. I admired 'em at the time.

Thanks for the invitation, but I have other obligations.
I deleted my post as I tend not to have any photos I have taken remain on the
Internet in a public space for very long. I live about a 60 mile drive out of
the City, and tend to avoid going into the City unless I have to. Normally I
drive to the Metro North Train Station in Brewster (and at my age the round
trip costs about $18.50), which actually costs less that the total cost of
driving, though it takes longer. Parking is expensive in New York unless you
hunt around. I have medical appointments on Monday. As I get older these
appointments seem to be increasing in frequency.
My vehicle is about 15 years old and I need to take it in for repairs, the
exhaust system needs patching (I hope) as there are some holes in it and my SO
is complaining about fumes, she is very sensitive to industrial fumes even
though she thinks nothing of asphyxiating me with smoke particles from incense.
The Cloisters was interesting. That day I was there, I went with a local photo
club. The museum gave me temporary permission to use a tripod so I was able to
get shots in darker areas until my camera died. I used my SO's camera for the
rest of the day. I think that camera died a few months later too.
Once again thanks for the invite, but it takes a lot of pressure to get me to
go into New York City. If I go in more than two or three times a year, it's
unusual.

Xeno, I replied to a message you had posted here last night, but my reply
never showed up, and now I don't see your original message.
But I enjoyed your piece about The Cloisters, and wanted to invite you for
lunch at the Four Seasons, Pool Room tomorrow (Monday), at noon.
That may depend if our attire will permit us entrance, but if not we will dine
somewhere else.
We'll be a party of four, two adults, and two grown kids.
I know little about the Four Seasons other than hearing about it occasionally,
but I read that it may have to relocate, and that it had a wonderful atmosphere.
And me, being a sucker for "darshan", of any sort, I though,we'd make a splurge.
Hope you can make it, even with the last minute notice!

This simple discovery solves a lot of problems with regard to technical and
intellectual difficulties anyone has encountered in the TM movement.
