I know what you mean. You know the Bay Area and San Francisco is
probably getting as bad as New York to drive into. And it is only about
35 miles away from here. Last time I did that was 3 years ago for a
conference.
My car is 17 years old but then it's a Subaru Forester and I've kept it
up. Funny thing, the dealer left a robocall the other day that I hadn't
been in for service since 2009. Yup, I found a independent shop up the
street that has a Subaru mechanic and they've been keeping it up for me.
And they cost less than the dealer. I don't need to do much driving
since everything is just a few miles away. But I did have to replace a
few things around 110,000 miles and those will be good for another 100K.

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!
