good evening…
today was another super swealtering day here in the middle of a heat wave. it was so bad that we took a cab to the train stop this afternoon. it was well worth the 6 bucks *believe me.* we took jabba to lorrie’s place for a play day while we scooted off to manhattan to do some household goods shopping. eric had an unexpected job interview at the last minute so he went to that and then met up with me around w. 34th and 7th, also known as kmart. we accidentally ended up in penn station, i think, and walked through there. then we came on back to good old astoria and hung out at freezepeach while a thunderstorm was in progress.
one thing we did notice today is that for the first time we actually saw police at the subway, even here in queens. nobody stopped us for “random” searches, though. gee…i wonder who they profiled, oh, i mean stopped. we even took jabba on his 2nd ever train ride. he’s still scared, but it’s better than walking in this heat!
tomorrow our furniture comes and i am very excited. no more sitting on the hard floor or sleeping on an air mattress for us! we’re moving up in the world…and we owe it all to visa…it’s everything we can’t really afford. [this statement has not been evaluated by the fcc.]

well I guess one just has to put that cab thing in perspective. You are saving on auto insurance and car payments and gas and oil and maintenace and tires. so you are ahead of the game this month. So, cab on, my sweet children!

Good advice Barbara! i couldn’t have said it better myself! I’d always want to take a cab!! Poor Jabba, we’ll have to buy him a toy train set for his Birthday! haha
tomorrow civilization enters your dwelling!

You might not be able to afford it, but you can afford the payments.
