Happy July 4th Eve!

2009_07_bbqgrill.jpg Since July 4th falls on a Saturday, today is a federal holiday. Government offices are closed, and most post offices are closed—the Farley Post Office at 8th Avenue and 32nd Street is open. Sunday parking rules are in effect and while there will be sanitation "pickups, street cleaning and recycling on Friday," there won't be any on Saturday according to the NY Times. Also, the subways are running on a Saturday schedule, while city buses are running on a Sunday one—and Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road are on a regular weekday schedule. Many businesses are giving employees the day off—are you taking it easy today?

"Many businesses are giving employees the day off—are you taking it easy today?"

Not mine! Sitting at work and all the blogs I read to kill time during a slow work day are gone for the weekend. Fuck my life!

Same here, just hung over and watching hulu shows.

So strange how LIRR and Metro North are on a regular schedule while the subway is Saturday. MTA wasting money running empty trains and needing more conductors and engineers on duty.

You never know when you might have to evacuate the entire city. Godzilla could strike at any time.

I agree. Jake is making the Extra Extras more thick than say 3-4 bold ones.
