Seven Rats and Bitter cold winds!

No this is not the title of Stephen King's latest novel. It is information about today...Saturday. Now let me explain. There are a few things that I am keeping track of during my time here in NYC. Don't ask me why I chose these things, because there is really no method to my maddess....it just sort of happened.! (I guess I might have a little of Joel's OCD!) One is how many miles I walk (232.37 miles), the amount of change I find on the ground (so far over $2) and the number of rats I see in the subway. As of today seven. I am not really sure why they are not burrowing in deeper than the subway because it is sooooo cold, but I had gone weeks without seeing any and yesterday and today I saw one. Now the second part of my title is to tell you that the cold here is like nothing I have ever experienced. Now all of your Ricks-ers will say that you have been there, but this is different...at least that is what my roommates tell me. The wind is humid and it cuts to the bone. I could seriously double up on the wear long underwear and still feel it. I think I am going to start wearing tights under all my pants. Fridgid doesn't even begin to describe it. I am not complaining...I am just informing.
