^{137th and Broadway, on the hottest day of the latest (and hopefully last for this summer) heat wave.}

It was pretty friggin’ hot this week in New York. And it seems that Con Ed is living up to its first name. The cables are still exposed on my block, three weeks after they were laid out after an electrical explosion down the block. Wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that we’re in Washington Heights, would it?

I saw them working on it the other day, with no apparent progress. I did not nag them, either. Instead, I smiled and wished them luck, and made them feel special. But to what avail?
