I have the night off here on the HQ. No cargo tonight. We're at our good lay berth in Brooklyn, hanging in until tomorrow after lunch.
I'm on nights, this being my final week of the tour, so I woke up at 2pm, and at 3 I went out forna walk, it being forecast to rain later. 95 degrees out, high humidity, sunny. Not great conditions for a walk but I got it in.
It's Puerto Rican day on Sunday here in NY, NY having more Puerto Ricans than Puerto Rico. Of course, being who they are, by 4pm there were ghetto sleds driving around w/speakers blasting their shitty music at retarded volumes all throughout Red Hook, which isn't nearly as latin as the rest of the city, and these shitbox cars are modded specifically to blast music OUT away from the fuckin' car, to fuck with everyone.
Honestly, and people wonder why all the goodwill towards immigrants has dried up?
So, the rain I was talking about came fast when it came. The sky got that ohshit gray of clouds churning, with a 5 minute warning and the heavens opened up. One of those downpours where the viz drops to about 300 feet.
And now, with the storm passed... silence. Just a few birds, the odd duck quack, and the drone of my generator.
Peace.
