MOVIE: Tonight the Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series delivers two very different films. First up is The French Riviera, described as "a road documentary that follows a truck driver on a mission to earn enough money selling ice cream in the Icelandic countryside to go on a vacation on a French beach."

If you illegally sublet your apartment - or are an illegal subletter - watch out! The NY Times has a spooky article about the growing business of investigating illegal sublets. One private investigator says with rents skyrocketing, it's now makes economic sense for landlords to pay detectives to investigate.

No way, man. No way is the government going to tell me what to do, man. No square in a tie is going to tell me how to live my life. Oh. It’s for my own good? Oh, ok.

It is not the natural state of a New Yorker to look up at the sky. The skyscrapers block our view and we need to be alert to what our fellow pedestrians are doing. Gothamist has tried to get people to look at the halos, sun dogs and iridescent clouds with limited success. Luckily there are meteorological phenomena to see on the ground. On our way to work in the morning Gothamist walks up the 116th Street stairs in Morningside Park. The top set of stairs are made of pink granite slabs. The mortar between the steps has long since disappeared so air and water move into the cracks (take note Parks Commissioner Benepe!). When it gets cold after warm days when water has seeped into the cracks these little frost patches appear on the steps.

Today and tomorrow are looking mighty fine for late November. Partly cloudy with high temperatures in the mid-50s. Then, in time for ballon inflating, a parade, and driving over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house the weather turns wet and cold.

Should be another partly-cloudy day with a high of 83. Scattered thunderstorms will begin rearing their heads around 7PM.
