Snowing In Jersey City
It’s snowing again here in Jersey City. While Anna sat around the house being cranky, I went out for a walk. Fortunately, I thought to bring along the Canon 10D; and I made some photographs while I was out.
Part of my walk took me along the Hudson River where there is a little floating dock. During the summer months, a local sailing school ties up its sailboats here. No sailboats today.
We’ve decided to move back to New York when our lease expires. Although this will mean a much longer commute for me each day, we really don’t like Jersey City. I’d love to say that there was only one reason why we didn’t like the area; but there are almost too many reasons to list.
This couple had just exited from the Path station. For some reason, the guy was lugging a suitcase which probably belonged to the woman.
So we’re looking for an apartment somewhere along either the Hudson or Harlem lines of MetroNorth. I expect to have about an hour and a half to two hour commute each day; but the benefit will be that we can live out where there’s grass and trees and other good stuff.
In honour of the tragedy on 9/11, Jersey City has this bent and twisted girder on display along the waterfront.
A couple weekends ago, Anna and I hopped a train up to Mount Kisco. It’s an okay little town; but it really isn’t as nice as Katonah — the next town north along the Harlem line. I’m even thinking about renting a condo up in the Pawling or Patterson area. The really have grass up there.
I’ve never quite figured out what this writing means. But it looks cool.
Oddly enough, this is the same area where we fell in love with a little cottage last year. Beyond not having a job with which to make the mortgage payments, my chief complaint had been the 2 hour commute. How ironic.
