Can't Beat the Heat!

This week has been cripplingly hot here in New York. It has felt nearly impossible to beat the heat, especially outside or in the sizzling subway stations. All the hours out at the pool have really worn me out, but thankfully, it looks like we have cooler weather in sight!

An interesting ad in the Lower East 

Side asking for the return of a lost/stolen

computer and camera so the owner

can remove the files. The owner pleads that

s/he will let the person keep the camera and the

computer, but the files are irreplaceable. 

A sign outside of my favorite bookstore

reads: "Proust for a Pittance! Chekhov

on the Cheap!" 

 

One of the greatest health initiatives 

in the city is subsidized fruit carts. 

Most produce from grocery stores is

very expensive, but these carts provide

very affordable, very fresh fruit and veggies! 

This 2012 article in the New York Times 

discusses the logistics of these carts, 

which have been around since 2008. 

I found a Tim Horton's (the Canadian

equivalent of Dunkin' Donuts) around

the corner from me at work this week!

 

A lovely post-swim sunset on 59th street.

 

Rich has been working tirelessly

the past few months to finish up his 

degree and translate his research into

publishable articles. He is getting closer

and closer to the end, and I'm very excited

for him! 

I hope everyone has been staying cool! Have a great week, and I'll be back next Monday!
